Why can’t they be like we were, perfect in every way? What’s the matter with kids today?

Billy,

Didn't your shoes have holes in them ??? For lunch you had two pieces of bread with nothing between them ???
But I bet you had a new belt....

I've never had a game canceled for cold weather in Missouri, only snow or ice. It has been very cold here the last couple of weeks. Lows below zero and highs in the single digits and games went on.

Shoes? Only the rich kids had shoes. I walked to school barefoot every day.
