Pondering some of the things that kids born after 2000 will never know thanks or no thanks to our culture...
- Waiting to watch summer reruns in order to catch a missed TV show
- What a home phone/land line is
- What it's like to lay on your back in the grass, look up and imagine "cloud sculptures"
- Marriage is sacred
- Songs decrying murder and hate were once unheard of, much less grammy-worthy
- Cheating on a test used to be one of the worst things a kid could do
- "Friend" used to be the kid down the street not all the people you "know" online
- Starting the school day with the Pledge of Allegiance
- Trophies and Awards used to be awarded based on actual performance
- Using a computer meant you sat down and dialed up, not reaching into your pocket
- Halloween was a blip on the calendar, not marketed for 3 months ahead of time
- Christmas was about Christ's birth first, Santa was just in the mall
- Bullying was localized at school, not permeating every aspect of your life
- Everyone held the door for the person coming after you
