Who's interested in some GenX themed humor? Here's a sample of my original and borrowed material...
Skit 001 "Of Course We're Tired" So, you want to know why GenXers are tired at least 2 days a week?
We survived some "interesting adventures" and didn't have Helicopter Parents who tracked us throughout the day for proof of life.
We started our day drinking unfiltered tap water or whole milk. If you were lactose intolerant, TOUGH 🍪🍪, drink tap water. Our parents fed us bran cereal, Grape-Nuts, or Wheaties (unsweetened) with whole milk. I'm pretty sure most of us used the toilet more often! 💩
Our parents had an unspoken agreement with Elmentary teachers. I remember seeing a wooden paddle in a classroom and being led to believe we could be spanked if we misbehaved. Yes, I cried in 2nd grade after being caught passing a note with a swear word because I thought Ms. Cherry would paddle me and call my parents.
We burned our legs using a molten HOT metal slide on the playground in Summer. And we fell onto hard dirt with muddy areas during the Monkey Bar Wars.
We also fell for CRUEL pranks pulled by older siblings or cousins. Our backs still hurt from the whiplash from our cousin quickly leaving the see-saw while he GLEEFULLY watched our end slam down to the pebbles-filled ground.
