You’re probably not GenX if you’ve never gotten stitches, a third degree burn or a broken bone 😎🗽❤️

We were all skinny with six pack abs and we ran everywhere before forest gump did. We taught ourselves how to ride a bike. Played with rocks on some empty lot. Sometimes alone. Late 70s early 80s. 👑🇵🇷🔥❤️👑🇵🇷🔥❤️👑🇵🇷🔥❤️👑🇵🇷🔥❤️

That's why you had commercials in the 80's that asked parents, "It's 10pm, do you know where your children are?"

I live in the Atlanta area for the past 24 years and was just telling some of my co-workers that's what we used to do in NYC in the 70's. Told them that fire hydrant was the best water ever!

Yep growing up in the 1970s a teenager in the 80s surviving New York the Bronx. Well, some families went to Florida on the summer. We spent it in the hydrant. We got sun on tar beach. Lived on pizza, crazy neighbors and mind. Your business was just something you knew.
