It was funny, but was it true?
I was born in the mid-twentieth century. We're now in the first quarter of the twenty-first century. When I posted my statement with the picture, some agreed (based solely on the one picture...), but others brought up good points. They wrote about things they did as a kid that kids no longer do. Is a huge inflatable the best thing for kids? I admit, I was spoiled. I grew up next to an amusement park complete with an amazing swimming pool. We had a mountain in our backyard, and we lacked the distractions of video games and personal computers.
I guess the picture made me and others think of what life was like as a kid. I'll put up my childhood with anyone's. As long as my bicycle had air in the tires, I was mobile. I could ride with my friends, go to the pool, or even bike to the next town over.
No, we didn't have huge inflatables where you could climb higher than the roof of your house, but we had a lot of fun. Maybe I was born in the wrong century, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
