Kids these days will never experience many of the rites of passage my generation valued more than gold. For instance: saving up your allowance for three weeks during the summer so you can buy one of those giant plastic Pixie Stix at the public pool’s canteen and downing the whole thing in one go to use it as a snorkel and spending the rest of the month with a burning feeling in the back of your throat that tastes like cherries, chlorine, and stale pee.
…those lucky saps.

Wooden skateboards with roller skate wheels and zero flexibility, ridden at top speed on concrete sidewalks. The road rash we could achieve when we hit the inevitable bump in the pavement made hardcore, leather-clad bikers green with envy.

Makes me glad I was never coordinated enough to skate, really. I found out the other day that my husband was once “a skater boy,” and a small, silly, girly part of me sighed over how hard I would have crushed on him if we’d gone to the same school. The larger part realized it explained so many things; I love him, but he clearly did some damage to his noggin. 😆
