That’s nothing. I used to have to walk two miles through driving snow, uphill both ways, to get to school. When I was a kid, we couldn’t afford real cereal...we ate wood and rocks.

You were lucky. We lived in a hole in the ground covered by a piece of tarpolin, and we were happy to have it!

That’s nothing, my family is so poor we can’t afford an American President.

When I was a kid there were 15 of us living in a shoebox in the middle of the road. We had to get up at 4:00am and lick the road clean with our tongues. And every night we’d eat a handful of cold gravel. Wood & rocks? Luxury.
