If you read some peoples posts on Facebook or even hear them talk you'd get the impression that back in "their day" all kids were beaten with belts when they misbehaved, no kid was allowed indoors during daylight hours, All moms voices could be heard for miles and miles calling their kids to come home at night, and all kids were very well behaved and no one ever dissagreed with their parents. Seems to me that some people view the past with selective memory. It got me to thinking how would a caveman write a back in my day story. Here's how I think it wold go.
You know kids have it so good today, back in my day we didn't have these new fangeld housed, we lived in caves and if the wind was blowing in you just got cold we din't need any freaking doors. and food, we couldn't just get in the car and go to the store, we had to kill our food with a spear and if you're aim was bad you just went hungry. If you wanted to go out with the girl in the cave next door you just went to her cave and conked her in the head and drug her away. We didn't have to bother with the formality of asking her out. and if you got sick you could not go to the doctor, you either got better or just dropped dead eventually and we liked it that way. Words, all we could do was grunt and snort. If you wanted to talk to the cave village down the road, we didn't have no fancy smancy can and string, you sent smoke signals and hoped the wind was out of the right direction. Things were so much better back then. Kids today have i9t so easy.
See how silly those back in my day stories are. The fact is the stuff in those back in my day posts are pretty far from the way things actually were. As we get older we tend to remember the past the way we wish it had been and not the way it really was.
