"we've gotta roll with the punches, learn to play all of our hunches Making the best of what ever comes our way Forget that blind ambition and learn to trust your intuition Plowing straight ahead come what may And theres a cowboy in the jungle" Jimmy Buffet

My daughter did that. So not as old as you might think, but yes I remember it as well. I don’t feel a day over 137.

I remember. My mother gave me a box full of grade school class photos, report cards, etc. There's probably a turkey in there next to the ashtray and finger paintings.

Yeah I remember the hand turkey and the ashtray. My parents didn’t smoke, which never occurred to me when I was making the super nice ashtray.

Hand turkey and the ashtray. Check. Now it's graphic design and 3D-printing.

My kids all did that. They are 14, 16, and 18. Rounded scissors and glue sticks though. Glue sticks are like a paste Push-up.

Yes, to the turkey. IIRC, my mom still has the drawing 55 years later.

Bonus points if you used your tongue to clean the paste off the scissors!

The things we did as kids, yet here we are. Teachers back then wouldn't freak out. Now I think they would over react.

I remember that, I also remember when playgrounds had asphalt or concrete underneath the swings and monkey bars. Broke my arm first day of school.

Do playgrounds even have monkey bars and swings now?

If you weren't still playing head-removal-kidney-bruises dodgeball in the gym, you might as well be a millennial.
