We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell or just yelled for them. 

  Mum didn’t have to go to work to help Dad make ends meet.

  Footy teams had try outs and not everyone made the Team.  Those who didn’t had to learn to deal with the disappointment.  Imagine that !!

  Our teachers used to belt us with the cane and/or leather strap and the   bullies ALWAYS ruled the playground at school.

  The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.  They actually sided with the Law.

  Our parents got married before they had children and did not invent stupid names like “Kiora’ or ‘Blade’.

  This generation has produced some of the best risk takers, problem solvers and inventors ever.

  The past 70 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

  We had the freedom, failure, success and responsibility and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL and YOU are one of them. CONGRATULATIONS !!

  You might like to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and government regulate our lives for our own good.   While you are at it, send this to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.  Kind of makes you want to run through the house with a pair of scissors, doesn’t it!?

   An Irishman and two Red Indians

Two Red Indian and an Irishman were walking through the woods.

All of a sudden one of the Red Indian ran up a hill to the mouth of a small cave.  ‘Woooo!  Woooo! Woooo!’ he called into the cave and listened until he heard an answering ‘Woooo! Woooo! Woooo!’  Then he ran into the cave.

The Irishman was puzzled and asked the remaining Indian what it was all about. ‘Was the other Indian crazy or what?’

The Indian replied ‘No, it is our custom during the mating season when Indian men see cave, they holler ‘Woooo! Woooo! Woooo!’ into the opening.  If they get an answer back, it means there’s a beautiful squaw in there waiting for us.

The second Indian ran up to another cave, stopped and hollered, ‘Woooo! Woooo! Woooo!’  Immediately, there was answer, ‘Woooo! Woooo! Woooo! from deep within the cave.  He tore off his clothes and ran into the opening.

The Irishman wandered around in the woods alone for a while, and then spied a third large cave.  As he looked in amazement at the size of the huge opening, he was thinking, Hoo, man! Look at the size of this cave!  It is bigger than those   Indians found.  There must be a really big, fine woman in this cave!’

He stood in front of the opening and hollered with all his might. ‘Woooo! Woooo! Woooo!

Like the others, he then heard an answering call, ‘WOOOOOOO, WOOOOOO WOOOOOO!’  With a gleam in his eye and a smile on his face, he raced into the cave, tearing off his clothes as he ran.

The following day, the headline of the local newspaper read ….
