The good old days

in #the โ€ข 6 years ago

I grew up in a place called Carmona (Goa-India)๐Ÿ˜ during a time when everyone treated each other like Family ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆWe went outside to play on streets, build dens and make tree swings ๐ŸŒณ, we got dirty, bathed ๐Ÿ›€๐Ÿป.
on a Sunday we didn't eat fast food๐ŸŸ๐Ÿ”....we ate a Sunday dinner...proper home made food ๐Ÿ and chips cooked in a proper chip pan! we got ice cream ๐Ÿฆfrom Amul or Baskin Robbins when we could afford it, otherwise a choc ice from the freezer. We played football โšฝ๏ธ, kabaddi , Hide and Seek๐Ÿ™ˆ and ๐Ÿ๐Ÿƒ Made life long friendships and are still in touch with them today albeit not on a regular basis, but true friends.There was no bottled water ๐Ÿ’ฆ we drank water from the tap (bathroom tap at night)๐Ÿšฐ we shared the same bottle of pop... After we'd wiped it with our mucky sleeves, We only had kids tv after school and Saturday mornings ๐Ÿ“บ We rode our bikes ๐Ÿšฒ for hours ๐Ÿ•ฐ There was no such thing as a mobile ๐Ÿ“ฑ or any other electronic device ๐Ÿ“ต. If someone had a fight, that's exactly what it was... a fist fight๐Ÿ‘Š. Kids didn't have guns๐Ÿ”ซ or knives๐Ÿ”ช. The street lights ๐Ÿ’กwere our curfew or until our mum shouted us. School was mandatory โœ๏ธ๐Ÿ“’. We watched our mouths around our elders๐Ÿ‘ด๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘ต๐Ÿผ because we knew we'd get a clip. Sayings like "What's for tea?" your guaranteed reply was shit with sugar on โ€œwhere's Mum?" Run off with the milk man would be the answer. Nothing was too PC back then ๐Ÿ’ญ.๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ซand you will never forget where you came from!
