Don't forget the infamous "if Jimmy wanted to jump off a tall building, would you do that too?" when you excused bad behavior by saying you did it because your friend led you into it.

Was there anything called "Child's or Kid's Rights" when you guys were kids? There was such thing where I grew up. LOL!
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...stop it i'm on the floor,child's rights-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...yeah we had the [right]to do as we were told and keep our little smart mouths closed,and if we decided that we had the[right]to talk back then they had the right to shut you up,haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...kids rights,marv,you need to be on stage with that one-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Black parents gladly give their kids the phone when they threaten to call children's services on them. Most probably have a business card at the ready in case the dummies need the number.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..cute,just one look from mom and any thoughts like that quickly vanished...[and so did i before she read my mind,hehehe]!
From Michael Jordan to Kayne West, the lowly tennis shoe is now a cultural icon. With prices ranging from $200 to thousands of dollars!
What happened to Pro Keds, with the little red & blue stripes? Plain white Reebok high-tops? Chuck Taylor's? [[Are making a comeback, but not the same)
Or those two dollar tennis we used to get from safeway,way back in the day.
Yeah, we called them "white boys", "buddies" and "Bobos". You wouldn't want to get caught dead wearing them. Now, I buy them without any thought at all. I've seen kids take most of an afternoon using a toothbrush to literally detail their shoes like they would a Cadillac Eldorado. And don't get me going on the fact that those young fools would gladly go to prison if necessary in order to steal a pair from another kid who worked his butt off to buy them [[or whose parents gave them as a gift). Sneaker culture is a blight on society.

Remember 'vacation' post cards? Do they even sell them anymore? They sure
seem like a dinosaur in this age. With Iphones, Facebook, Snapchat and all
the rest..I imagine they're just a memory from the past. People post their
travels immediately on social media.
And with texting, when was the last time someone wrote a letter? Had a conversation? A face-to-face one, I mean?
There's even a term from those immersed in that "sneaker culture". Their called sneaker heads! Like pot heads. It's apt. These ones are addicted to sneakers! Heard of a case in Cali., where when this guy's brother died, he buried his entire collection, secretly! Because if other sneaker heads knew what was in the collection they would have robbed and killed the surviving brother!!! What?!
Kids sometimes text while sitting next to each other. It's unnerving to see two kids sitting down while giggling and trading glances without saying a word. Makes you want to smack them on the side of the head to see if they text "ouch" to each other.
I still have the vivid memory of post cards and days old foil wrapped hamburgers from the Howard Johnson's we used to stop at on family trips to Virginia. I used hope we could go a few extra miles until a McDonald's or Burger King would pop up but usually we had to pull over to HoJo for gas, a pee break and to eat those over-priced very suspect protein patties.
I remember always seeing these gigantic, yellow billboards for "Stuckey's" when we'd travel by car South. We never saw one but they were some sort of restaurant.
And "Bob's Big Boy", "Jack-in-the-box", "Burger Chef", "Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips", "LongJohn Silver's."
I love-long john silver's.
Nothing on Earth is better than a Detroit Coney Island though.........LOL! Best darn chili dog there ever was!

Rally's bought out the old Snapp's burger joints and the food went downhill from day one. I don't eat meat anymore but Snapp's burgers were the only ones that tasted like beef to me. And Arthur Treacher's used to be the funk. I remember them serving their food on newspapers, which would gross the crap out of my wife but was part of the allure back then. None of the modern fish 'n chips restaurants compares, although we have a local bar [[Old Bag Of Nails) that comes close.
My daughter told me that there are still[churches]chicken shacks still around.
There's a Church's about three miles from the folks' place. Another about five miles from where I live. Before I stopped eating meat, I had already written off Church's when I bought an 8 piece [[which is normally legs and thighs) and paid three dollars to upgrade it to mixed light and dark meat and they gave me one wing and one breast for the extra three dollars. Not extra pieces, mind you. They switched a thigh for a wing and a leg for a breast. Why wouldn't they give me four light and four dark? I can't stand places where the employees are tone deaf to customer service.
But grady's still survives,amazing!!
We used to have a chicken restaurant in central Ohio called Sister's Chicken and Biscuits. That was the only thing that beat out KFC back then and the first restaurants to sell biscuits in our area. Also, Golden Bird which was cooked with a ton of garlic in the seasoning. Now, Popeye's seems to be as popular as KFC since the Colonel costs too much and has notoriously poor quality. Glad I gave it up.
Popeye's is da joint,in my estimation kfc is a distant third heck as far as i'm concerned-golden skillet is ahead of them...legend has it that church's chicken got started when an overflow of grease from grady's kitchen ran over and a new chicken spot was hatched!
That's probably true. I heard that a bunch of deacons ate at Grady's one Easter Sunday and later they began to sweat and it had so much grease in the sweat that they used it to cook the chicken. That accounts for all of the salt in the seasoning.
And the ol high school go-to, White Castle. Steamed burgers on a square bun. Or as we called it in the Boogie Down - murder burgers!
The term "sliders" originally referred to White Castle hamburgers. And it was not a term of endearment. I'm happy because they sell Impossible Meat sliders now. Waiting for Burger King to drop its Impossible Whopper here in a month or so.
Remember when "meat" came from an animal?
Some eateries still use meat today...from whatever is laying on the road!!
