Thing's Kids Today will never understand

Looking back from our childhood experience they're many thing's that were common everyday thing's and event's today's kid's will never understand what we're telling them. Example
# 1. You never miss the pump handle until the well runs dry.
#2. Gasoline was 20 cents a gallon/ movie's 25 cents and candy 2 for 1 penny don't faint kid's
#3. My childhood home cost $5,500 brand new and daddy worked two job's to pay the $55 mortgage
#4. Firearms, ammunition and Dynamite was sold over the counter as easy as a loaf of bread.
#5. $30 worth of groceries filled the trunk, covered the kid's laps upto eyeballs with food, we still worked the gardens killed chickens, gathered eggs, washed clothes outside 🌩 and walked to school up hill both ways and 10 cents bought our lunches.
Name some thing's back in the day that kid's today would never understand? Like talking back to your elders would get you a whooping! 🤣 have fun!

So, Pb, did you ever have to empty the slop pail. I used to hate that job because I would usually slop some on my leg.

Milk cartons at school were 3 cents.
Everyone did not get a trophy and some kids did not make the team.
Could sit on the tail gate of the station wagon while delivering papers.
Us Catholics got off the day after Halloween.
Shoveled sidewalks for 25 cents.
Collected soda bottles for 2 cents 5 cent for the big bottles.
Walked to school or ride the bike. Helmet what the heck did we need a helmet for.

Talking on the phone with the neighbor down the road listening in on an eight party line.
Most kids will never go swimming in that wonderfully COLD water in mid July “down at the creek.”

Goggle n Alexa didn't solve all your problems. Calculators n computers didn't do your homework. When mom called you to the dinner table she didn't use a cellphone 🤣🤣

What about the milk man coming to your house? The fire department came to school and put all the first and second graders on top of the hose bed and drove us around town with lights on and siren blasting. Sure there would be just A few issues with that now days.

Before my neighbor's oldest son got his cellphone he was down in my yard all the time wanting me to show him how to plant veggies, helping me rake and shovel. I got him into a Nutcracker we performed at the library, he was SO excited. Now he walks by my house coming home from the schoolbus with his head in the phone and doesn't even say "Hello."
He does play the trumpet now, so at least I rubbed that off on him!

One television in the house for entertainment. Black and white with 6 channels, only if the weather was right.
