Kids are so spoiled

They really don't know how comfortable life has become.
When I was a kid, I had to slog through 6 feet of shag carpet, knowing I'd get a massive static electric shock when I touched the tv that has KNOBS to toggle between the three available channels, simultaneously adjusting the two long metal rods sticking up from the back to get the clearest possible reception, only to have my dad decide he liked the first station better after all. At which point I'd spend fifteen minutes readjusting the antenna to finally get it in clear just as the original program ended.
No wonder I spent my time outside playing...
And my favorite toy? Dirt.
