My children will never understand the satisfaction of slamming the phone down on the receiver after an argument. All they can do is poke angrily at a screen. :rofl::rofl:

It was a Walmart seriously downsized! I was a young kid & that was where we could get a milkshake at the counter!

Completely relatable, grew up with small local grocery stores in my town until the Walmart opened and the milkshakes flowed

My kids just don’t understand how a rotary phone works. They don’t know what a pain it was to have to hang up and start all over dialing a number if you messed up, or the fact that you basically had to stay in about the same place the whole time you were on the phone since it was attached to a phone jack in the wall plus a cord attached to the base🤣

They would never understand being able to not worry when parents sent their kids to the store down the street and had no adequate supervision

My kids just don’t get how much fun it was to be on my pogo stick trying to beat my highest amount of bounces. They didn’t even know what a unicycle was that my cousin just loved to ride.
These two things aren’t electric scooters or segways…
