    ABOUT THE GRACIE:
    This sold out show was taped at The Gracie Theatre in Bangor, Maine. The Gracie is Husson University’s Center for the Fine and Performing Arts. The Gracie serves as a learning platform for students from the New England School of Communications in digital audio, sound mixing, set design and construction, lighting, stage management, acting and electronics. Many thanks to the students & staff at NESCom who assisted with this recording.
    ABOUT KAREN MORGAN COMEDY:
    My channel & my comedy are all about laughing at life. Hit subscribe to keep the fun going! Here you will find standup comedy, storytelling, voiceovers, and random stuff that makes me laugh. My comedy material is about parenting, marriage, relationships, family, aging "gracefully" and the humor of everyday life. I'm also a Southern girl who married a Yankee and moved to Maine, so you will probably see stuff about how cold I am and how much I miss the Waffle House. I work as a clean comic on stage, so I try to do the same with my channel.
    I was raised in the 1970s and went to school in the 1980s, so expect some humorous nostalgic trips to the past for Gen X, Gen Jones and Baby Boomers. And because I am a very proud alum of the University of Georgia who was born and raised in Athens, you will definitely see some videos about the Georgia Bulldogs (Go Dawgs!).
    Cheers!
    Karen

    The Gen X part is so true. I was born in the 70's, grew up in the 80's and it was glorious. We had sooooooo much freedom and I completely miss it. We were forced to stay outside till the street lights came on and if one of us didn't come back then they were on Unsolved Mysteries. We were the last tough kids in this history of humanity.

      Actually, I'm a boomer and her description of living as a kid in those days was exactly like mine. The only difference was that the worst part about being locked out of the house all day was that there was no place to go to the bathroom. Worse being a girl, of course. Then again, to this day, I can hold it forever. None of those old lady peeing issues like all of my peers. Probably the strongest muscle in my body these days.
      I always loved those licorice records with the dot candy in the middle. They were pretty cool looking and weren't bad to eat either. Would sometimes buy those while picking up Mom's Chesterfields.

      Just because we were the dumb ones, doesnt make us the toughest.. especially by todays standards.
      and if there are any weak ones, its our fault for failing them and raising them poorly..

    I’m Gen X. For Christmas we got bendable Barbies, lawn darts, and pen knives. We’d go to the corner store with 25 cents and get a big bag of candy. In the summer we’d peel sunburned skin off each others backs. And I can still feel all the lumps and bumps on my skull through my hair from where I fell off things or got hit with things.

We ate out of our parents vegetable garden and washed off "most" of the dirt while we played house outside all day! We were the fittest kids ever! We learned how to make our own fun without technology. We were free but also disciplined and well mannered! We were never told by our parents that "We could do no wrong or We were perfect." It only took a look from our parents to know we were in HUGE trouble and we knew what was coming! Spare the rod, spoil the child was our parents beliefs! But we were Loved unconditionally, praised when needed, taught respect and hugged by our parents a lot! Best years to be a kid! This video was awesome!❤❤❤

      You should Google the research that has been done on endocrine disrupters and what is happening to the grandchildren of those kids who were in clouds of DDT because you see when DDT lands on your skin and is absorbed into your body…guess what….it stays there forever causing problems in your endocrine system and in the bodies and brains of their GRANDCHILDREN…….it is not pretty and partly wrong with a huge number of young adults today.

    When the road would ice up, we would put my dad’s cowboy boots on and he would roll the back window of the station wagon down. We would hooky-bob behind that Griswold mobile and we come into the house with ice burn on our faces and arms laughing like crazy. The old man loved it. I wouldn’t trade the way I grew up for anything. We chewed Copenhagen, snuck Budweiser at picnics, smoked cigarettes behind the school. We snorted pixie sticks and fun dip. We played wall ball and had ice ball fights, drank squeez-it, shopped at Kmart, rode in the back of grandpas truck. We shot bottle rockets at each other, got in fist fights, de-pantsed each other, pranked teachers, skipped school, and didn’t give much of a damn about anything. The cops were cool unless you got really stupid. I’m raising a 16 year old and I feel bad when I tell him about my childhood. It was full of innocence and stupidity. Every scar has a great story. We jumped on beds, shot each other with sling shots and pellet guns, rode dirt bikes with no helmets, hunted rabbits and ate them for dinner, caught fish and ate them for dinner, we fell in cactus, licked frozen playground equipment, fell through the ice, started food fights, and we laughed. The world was in the middle of the Cold War but we were isolated from it. We listened to horrible music, dressed worse, we had mullets and the girls had huge bangs! We used hairspray and hair grease. We would leave the house in the morning and come home when the first street light would come on. Sometimes we would go back out and meet the other kids at park and play steal the flag at night. It was fun. The grumpy old men would chase us around, never really intending to catch us, but it was their way of having fun. I think they got joy out of the whole thing. It’s sad to see children today, stuck in social media and being policed by everyone including the police. How did we let this happen?

He had a funny grin on his face and a few chuckles with it, us kids would squeal and enjoy it too, half truly scared of just not knowing WHAT would happen if he ever DID get his paws on us, the other half just knowing he was playing around with us.

    Oh, the good old days - we used to play outside till dark. A friend of my sisters had a father who was an appliance salesman and sometimes he'd bring home a giant refrigerator box and we'd take it to the empty field at the end of the street that had a hill on it. We'd take the box to the top of the hill, all climb into it and get it moving so it would roll down the hill. Another thing we'd do in the forest in upstate New York in the summer is we'd take a toboggan to this hill in the pine forest and all sit on it lined up behind each other and then ride it down the slippery pine needles, then take it back to the top and do it again! Talking about candy back then - after I did my chores my father would pay me and I could buy a Hershey's milk chocolate bar and a Yoo-Hoo for less than a quarter! I used to love those little wax bottles - I'd carry the 8-pack around and save 'em for later. Thank you for the reminiscing, Karen; I haven't thought about that in years. I really enjoyed your stories; you GO girl!

    Awesome show Karen! Your material is great it brought back lots of great memories and the extra touch for me is all your mentioning of Maine as I grew up in Oakland Maine. I have one sister that lives in Skowhegan and another one that lives in Fayette. I'm trying to recall if I've ever heard another comedian talk about Maine… Except for Marshall Dodge. I live in Boulder Colorado now so it's sweet to hear the references!

    I am 58 and I use to go to store and buy cigs and beer for my parents. My dad ( or mom ) would call the store and say Im sending my boy down for beer and thats all it took. The owner would say ok Bill. They didnt even care bout the cigs then. I was under 10 years old most of the time. I could get some of that crappy candy too with the change left over.
    One time when I was about 13 my dad was pretty hammered and he said BOY its about time you learned to drive. So he put me behind the wheel of his big 4 door Dodge Monaco. Now these were big 70 cars that could take out take out a city block like a battering ram. I could barley see over the steering wheel too and I drove him to the LIQOUR store because he was too drunk to drive apparently. Well he got his bottle and I drove us home. Let me tell you I was pretty damn nervous about driving that big car down public roads at 13 while dad was taking shots out of the bottle he just bought. Dad was spouting off stuff but I was too focused on not killing us to really hear what he was saying.
    All mom said when we got home and walked in the door was wipe your feet. It didnt even phase her.

Every once in a while someone would get their head laid open from one of those...and keep on playing!!! Holding hands with the new kid on the end and the front person grabbed the electric fence....welcome to the neighborhood! We beat rattlesnakes with sticks and rocks....I coulda died!!! Still here. We came home from playing, dirty, bruised, cut, covered with fire ant bites, burnt.... and it was a GREAT DAY!!!! We did it AGAIN the next day! And, all the neighbors had PERMISSION to WHIP YOUR BEHIND if called for! We had penny candy! We collected bottles and bought a bag full of candy! What FANTASTIC memories! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    The whole buying cigarettes thing is 100% real! I'm older than this gal doing the stand up and I purchased swichers sweets cigars, and these cigars came before chew; came before cigarettes. So when you found non filter cigarettes; you were home. In over 40 years, I actually quit twice. I have now not smoked for 4 something years for my second time. I have gone like this twice. I have made it half way through the 2nd time and I use to long distance run for fun. I'm 65 now, and I can trot for a block; for pure f**king hell. Any kids here? Don't cave for peer preasure, and go running , but drive away from the cities to do it! Just cause you can't see it does not mean it's not there. Global warming? PISS TOSH. That's so the rich can get richer. DON'T put money into their pockets and help them!

    My dad was born in the 1920's but died about 10 years back and he was the least quiet person you would ever meet. Although he did have some quirks from the Depression. He did extremely well for himself and taught us financial responsibility. He had a fear of food insecurity and had multiple freezers in the house to store food. Once he was in the hospital, my siblings and I found about 30 chickens that were 6 years old. My dad just wanted to make sure his kids had food. We threw everything out. But when he died it was the same thing.
    I'm GenX. I was born in '78. I have a twin, a sister 2 yrs older and a brother 4 yrs older. My dad was not the silent generation. He had older kids from hus first marriage but there was a revival in the 70s. My mom was a Boomer. We encompassed all the generations. Oddly enough it was my mom that hated me and without my dad, I don't think I would've survived.

    I am watching this at 2 am in our guest bedroom/office/study and laughing so hard I am worried about waking up grumpy. She needs her sleep so she can pummel me all day..
    As Boomers born in 47 and 48 my wife and I raised a couple of those Gen X kids ourselves. We lived in a suburb of Chicago and the winters of 76, 77 and 78 were too much for us all. It took 45 minutes to get three kids into their snow suits only to have them beg to come back in after 5 minutes out in the cold. My wife could never watch her daytime soaps or just catch a breather. So we moved to Southern California in 79 so the kids could play outside all day. That's what we told them. I remember our kids experiencing all of those "mean candies" and the same playground life threatening adventures. One involved handling a "cute" baby rattlesnake. The first week there our 9 year old son came home one evening disheveled with his hair all mussed. My wife asked him "What had happened were you playing football"?. "No, we (he and his new friends) just played a game of Smear The Queer" (apologies for the language). The game consisted of all of the boys piling up on the new kid on the block on the nearest lawn and rolling him around for a while. It was a welcome to the neighborhood ritual. There was always a new kid on the block in Southern California. I really miss all of the fun our kids had as Gen Xers.

My mother didn't smoke but some of my friends were getting smokes for their mothers.

      I'm an early boomer, 1950. It was the same raising for us as kids. But I really think genX are the true bad asses, the great survivors of "get your ass home when the street lights come on!" Kids today may never know the joy of being a hose drinker or playground metal slide survivor! It was an honor.
