The Old Fashioned Way
It is so funny to hear our grandparents talk about back when they were kids. They walked to school in the snow, uphill both ways. We have all heard this before and we all still get a kick out of it. The funniest one I have heard yet, though, was when my dad said that back in his days there were no free online dating sites and you had to find a date the old fashioned way.
We joked about the fact that you had to find local singles in high school and get married the day after you graduated, before someone could come and snatch your soul mate from under your feet. This is especially funny in my family, as my dad and his two brothers all got married right out of high school.
I wonder what I will tell my kids one day. It will probably be something along the lines of “back in my day, we had to meet and date” while our kids can probably take DNA from some hot young thing and grow their own date.
