I thought it would be fun to list things I miss from the 1970s. Then I realized I couldn’t think of any.
I went from 5 to 15 years old in the 70s. I can’t say I recall a lot from being 5, but what if I could go back to my 15-year-old body with my current adult mind? Wouldn’t that be fun? Or would it be horrifying? Maybe horrifyingly fun?
I will explore this in a future post.
For now, here are three things I miss from the 1970s, for real:
- The price of everything. Hey, since 1970 we’ve had 53 years of inflation, it adds up.
- The languid pace of childhood summers (I went from 5 to 15 in the 70s)
- Lawn darts. Fun and stupidly dangerous, the perfect combination for kids!
