"When I was your age"

Watching my sister grow up, I've noticed myself stuck in many nostalgic moments. Taking her to the park takes me back to swinging with my friends and flying down the slides. Eating Mitchell's ice cream in the summer, having play dates, and getting so excited to eat fast food. But I've also noticed the child times they have-a changed. I am constantly saying to my sister, "When I was your age, we didn't get to have sleepovers"...."When I was your age, we didn't have a lap top"..."When I was your age, I couldn't fill my closet"....And the thing that I've mostly noticed is how much television has changed for the youth.

When I was growing up, it was all about "Full House", "Family Matters", "Step by Step", "Are You Afraid of the Dark?", "Mister Rogers Neighborhood"....Nowadays, you've got the diva corner of "Hannah Montana" the recent pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears in "Zoe 101", "Wizards of Waverly Place" (and I'm sad that I know these) and 10 yr old kids talking like they have full time jobs and potential spouses. Kids are learning to have too much attitude and maturity from these money-making shows....If we can, please bring our children back to their youth.


Thank you.
