I remember 1980 in Memphis, TN. Five days in a row of 108 degrees. Nothing like it before or since. I also was there in 1963 on Christmas Eve. Memphis was the coldest place in all of the 50 states at -13 degrees and deep snowdrifts. A car was stuck in a snowdrift nearby and they trekked across the field to our house and stayed overnight. Our well was frozen, so we were melting snow in the bathtub for water. I was six years old and thought it was all great fun.
That's cute. Funny how that works. Meanwhile, your parents were making sure you were safe.
Different times. Today's parents are encouraging their children (Munchausen by proxy) to get physically mutilated to change gender.
