@@familyengineering5591 Yes, because the hose gets hot in the sun so the water tastes funny initially. Once you let it run for a minute or two, all of that old water is flushed out.
Every kid lived that way in the 90s.... Meanwhile in 2024, a mother has been arrested and is facing prison time because her 10 year old son was walking alone more than a mile from home... Crazy world
I grew up in the 60s/70’s and I understand. I also understand no babysitters if your parents couldn’t get one, trick or treating alone in town and neighboring towns, being told to wait outside the bar while dad went in and had a few belts before he took you home from the movies and lots of other fun stuff.
Yup! Yesterday I saw a clip of a mother getting arrested for allowing her 11 year old son to go to the store by himself, like 1 mile away from their home. Such a sad time to be a kid!
For real. Insane. When I was 11, I was gone all over Bay City on my bike for 12 hours a day, or more! My parents had NO idea where I was or what I was doing.
The thing is, plenty of children back in the 90s who were out alone got kidnapped or killed by serial killers. So now parents are stricter on child safety, and the laws are too
Right? This was stolen from every decade before it. “Something you’d only understand if you grew up before the 2000s” is more accurate on this one. 🤣🤣🤣
I remember my friend and I spent hours in a house they were building in back of her house. Our parents rode bikes looking for us. All the time we were inside this house. We got Pinochet big time for going inside a house they were still building. But, it was fun and we still talk about it to this day!
That was true for the 60s, 70s and 80s too. Heck on Saturdays we would take off after breakfast and we wouldn’t come home until dark. I was ten years old , hell now my mother would have been arrested for child neglect. ( I am 70 years old)
90’s kids had major video games, they weren’t outside…she’s delusional. Don’t be stealing the 70’s and 80’s from those of us that really lived that way…
There was a creek near our town, me and my friends would ride to the creek and try to catch something but always fail, and we'd return home before supper. Mom would greet us again, and it would be the best meal. Such a safe and beautiful time. The adventure, the friendship, the nature, and trust, everything was perfect.
I’ve done all of those things 🤣 road my bike all of the city. Played in the woods. Built a fort. And, explored the abandoned chicken processing plant that was across the tracks from my house. 🤣
Born in 1960 same things in the 60s the 70s the 80s wasn't until the late 90s with the Internet things started to change by the 2000s childhood had become unrecognizable to most of us
What a load of rose colored bull$hit. I still see kids regularly on bikes and hanging out in shopping centres/malls. In fact, skateboarding especially seems to be the trend these days due to how packed my local skatepark is on the regular.
When I was a kid, my bike was my entire life! I raced ABA BMX as well as dirt jumps, skateparks and street freestyle. I would put over 10,000 miles on my bikes, I had a small computer that read the speed and mileage. Unfortunately I did end up injuring a nerve in my leg from overdoing it.
😂I love it! I loved the sewers too. Being under the city was so fun. So freaking dangerous though, my friends and I all saved each other’s life once. But got to be home before the streetlights 😊, summertime that meant almost 9pm. And I miss neighborhood night games, like ghost in the graveyard, and hide and seek, and capture the flag. I lived on a great block.
That was my life in the 80's. Todays kids are raised to be helpless little moms little babies. The other day i saw on the news that a mom got arrested because her kid walked alone to the next door neighbor.
I grew up in the 1990s and I remember having more freedom and less adult supervision. I remember being a kid and going over to my cousin’s house one summer and we played outside all day with the neighborhood kids. Our parents were not sitting outside watching us and we could do pretty much whatever we wanted. I remember clearly my aunt telling my cousin and me, before we went out to play, that we needed to be home by the time the street lamps came on.
My son and his friend used to cycle 20 miles to the next town for a coffee with another friend. We didn’t know. We only found out when his friend got flat tire and he wouldn’t abandon him, and they took a while to walk back. It was 2013, nothing changes.
2013, for me, is the time the cultural change started. People went from living in the real world to everyone is on social media and the internet at every waking hour.
I was never back by the time the street lights came on. I was a latchkey kid. Mom worked two jobs,her idea of supervision was my pothead uncle...which turned out as well as to be expected.
I ran away from home ( 5years old) into the bush with my dog, spent all day thinking how much my mum would miss me , went without lunch,drank water from the dam, got home after dark, she went crook at me for being late for evening meal. Probably had a nice peaceful day!
All of that and the era of call us when you get there and the use of payphone. The amount of forts my friends and I built in the woods, chilling with no supervision, is startling these days. We found a gun in those woods once
😌 The city water from the water hose from a stranger’s house on a hot summer day was the best 😊😊😊 I still remember one day me and older sister rode far away and when we got home our parents were ready with the beautifully decorated rose belt 😂😂😂
The pepsi caps with the black and white drawings on the back, and the pepsi marvel cards.. around the same time as looney tunes/batmans/power rangers tazos and the gross stuff era.. that seems like a fever dream now, a nice one. I was only on kindergarten
Yep… pretty much. If thirsty we would drink from the hose, if hungry we would pick some fruits on trees, we never had any working breaks on our bikes, and yet we didn’t die or got sick…
I never realised we didn't really drink much 😆 and then if we did it was hose water and it tasted great. I had that huffy and making dirt jumps with friends. I miss those summer days 😔
50’s and 60’s were great. A lot less traffic to contend with and more open land. We used to play a lot in an abandoned sand pit. How many of you built a treehouse or a downhill racer? Baby buggy wheels were priceless finds at the local junkyard along with steering wheels. If you played with a cap gun nowadays, the cops would shoot you, claiming that the midget was trying to kill them.
Street lights would come on then you just go home and check in eat dinner then go back out with your friends and play flashlight tag throughout the neighborhood😊
I feel grateful that I grew up in a time that we could do this. Younger generations have no idea the freedom they don’t have.
And we drank from the fountain of youth, also known as the garden hose. 😂
The hose water always had a certain taste too haha
Yes, and I think 90s kids were the last generation to do that. 😊
I let it run for a while

80's kid here. So very true! 100 degree summer days, 30 degree winter days....didn't matter. Miss them days!
Born in 2000 but I experienced this and everything else on this channel . Take me back to the good ol days 😢

I saw that video too!!
Absolute insanity
70 80 90
We took a city bus to junior high school in NYC. I used to take the train from The Bronx to Manhattan to go to the big library. That was in the 70s.
@@dmp04 man I rode my bike to school from the age of 5 .. it was something like 7 ks maybe 3 miles no one blinked an eyelid
Those were the days!
Those long ass bike rides with your friends were the best. Just riding around
Those good ole street lights. We did this on the 1980s too. 😀

Just imagine brewing up in the 70’s….😊 that was awesome!
Imagine being a teen in the 1970s.
I think I missed out.

I was just about to post this same thing. That story is absolutely ridiculous.
The thing is, plenty of children back in the 90s who were out alone got kidnapped or killed by serial killers. So now parents are stricter on child safety, and the laws are too
I was walking to school and back home (6 blocks each way) from the age of 7.
Not just the 90’s, 50’s through the 90’s is more like it 🤣😂
Right? This was stolen from every decade before it. “Something you’d only understand if you grew up before the 2000s” is more accurate on this one. 🤣🤣🤣
This lady always nails it
"Lady" makes her sound old. Now I feel old. Cause I'm the same age as her.
The good old days

We got Pinochet big time for going inside a house they were still building. But, it was fun and we still talk about it to this day!
Thank you for this one 🥺
My bike showed me the WORLD!
Growing up in Ohio on Lake Erie was such a wonderful time.

Last of a dying breed
This is true for the 90’s and before video games 😂. Man alive, I loved that bike 😍
There were video games in the 1990's golden eye and link to the past were great.
Good days !
Every kid these days. NO WATER BOTTLE!😂

Yes those where the days!! Aww the adventures! ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely!!!! Love your videos!
Every bit of this! Yes 😢❤😂
OMG I had that exact bike as a kids. The Huffy Mud Slinger. I forgot!
Omg I had that exact bike. So many memories I have with it.
The buildings! So true!
Good times 💚
Though we're the good days the best years of my life
I wish I grew up in the 90s. It sounds great
True. The lights rule.
Well where I grew up we didn't have street lights I had to pay attention to when the lightening bugs started flashing
Jesus that's a nice HUFFY! Kids use to win prizes like that on Double Dare!
Or a trip to Space Camp 😅
I’ve done all of those things 🤣 road my bike all of the city. Played in the woods. Built a fort. And, explored the abandoned chicken processing plant that was across the tracks from my house. 🤣

Idk if its the nostalgia, the relatablity, or the beauty, but I'm here for it.
YES!!! Literally the same story I tell all of the time.
Haha I love how she points out “without a water bottle”.. something we wouldn’t dare allow our own kids to do 😂
Be a cool parent, give them a blunt, not water.
And now you will get arrested if your kid walks a half mile into town.
Those were the DAYS!!! 😢
Those jump ramps on empty construction sites. Good times
Yeah my friends and I built dirt jumps
Yes, I remember
Coming home before street lights were on was a universal thing with all parents. God I miss those days 😂
God I miss those days!
I grew up in London in the UK and this all very true for me and my friends at the time.
Lol this is still me 🤣 glad this still happens!
That was me in the 80’s, every day me and my friends would go on adventures on our bikes.
We sure were active and had a good life growing up in the 90s
Word for word - my childhood in the 70s.
Back when freedom and individually were encouraged
What a load of rose colored bull$hit. I still see kids regularly on bikes and hanging out in shopping centres/malls. In fact, skateboarding especially seems to be the trend these days due to how packed my local skatepark is on the regular.

My god I miss that...😢
I went everywhere on my bike! ❤
In the 80s, we knew where all of our friends were by all the bikes in the yard. I imagine it was that way for 90s kids and 60s and 70s kids too.
This was my childhood
Was always told 2 things: be where I can see you, be back before dark.
Grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and I understand that. The wheel was invented before then…..
All of that and the era of call us when you get there and the use of payphone. The amount of forts my friends and I built in the woods, chilling with no supervision, is startling these days. We found a gun in those woods once
No adult supervision the BEST DAY EVER.
I miss the days of… coming home before the streets lights came on. Good times.
😌
The city water from the water hose from a stranger’s house on a hot summer day was the best 😊😊😊
I still remember one day me and older sister rode far away and when we got home our parents were ready with the beautifully decorated rose belt 😂😂😂
I grew up up in 2010s and my bike was my freedom aswell
This is absolutely true!
Still living like that now, having given up the expense of a motor vehicle, and being a bike commuter.
What? Did we all live in this 90's simulation
😮with the same memories
Wish I was born in this time🥲
I do this, especially going into abandoned buildings, me and my friend rode to a city that was 2.5h away from home just a few weeks ago lol
Tara.. Pepsi Points from the dumpster! 😅
The pepsi caps with the black and white drawings on the back, and the pepsi marvel cards.. around the same time as looney tunes/batmans/power rangers tazos and the gross stuff era.. that seems like a fever dream now, a nice one. I was only on kindergarten

That’s a nice Huffy
Hearing my moms voice echo thru the neighborhood with threats and timeline to get inside lol
I miss that freedom.
You’re describing childhood up until the 90’s. The 90’s is when kids freedom began to be curtailed.
That was everything prior to the 2000s
Not just 90’s kids…70’s and 80’s too! 😂
Man i remember mongoose was the best bike back then and huffy
Was born on 01 and this was my childhood aswell
Before the 90’s. I was on one in the 50’s.
Street lights would come on then you just go home and check in eat dinner then go back out with your friends and play flashlight tag throughout the neighborhood😊
Fucken ay, that was 100% my childhood.
Yep did the same exact thing numerous times
Yup be home before the sun gows down is still a rule by heart haha
100% accurate. Born 1982
