*high five*

I'd like to fuel my car like it's 1999.

Why can't this be my neighborhood? Those are my peoples...

D@mn straight!

I must agree!!

Or get your fathers to play along...

GAME ON!!

I agree

Yes!!! I’m borderline Gen Z/Alpha but the town I lived in for Elementary school was small and rural enough that we could safely play in our cul-de-sac most of the time. However I do remember doing this the rare times a car came through!

I grew up on a dead end road on a hill. No street games. 😔 But we did play in the woods in the old coal mine ruins!

Good ole days…

Didn't have that problem, we played in a Cul-De-Sac or Closed Road, so the only cars coming in and out were residents going to and from work.

Navy kid. I used to steal Norden bombsights from junkyard planes in Patuxent MD. Top secret in WWII.Like a ten pound watch.

Great times!

We painted bases and home plate in our cul de sac for our kids (35 years ago) to play kick ball. I would love to go back to see if we can still see it. The “kids” are now in their 30’s and 40’s

Yep!

Or, if you grew up in a rural area, you left the house after lunch to go play outside and only re-emerged when someone shouted "DINNER"

We lived on a dead-end so didn't get the kind of traffic a regular street did.

And the car wasn't texting while speeding, so you had less of a risk of being run over.

I remember yelling coyotes!!!!

Yup, 3rd base was the sewer cover in front of my house.

oh, yes! No cars in the streets of my neighborhood! Athens 1958!!!!!!!!

We lived in the countryside, so we shouted COMBINE HARVESTER! but to be fair you could hear them coming some way off and you had time to get off the road.

My crew were like the Goonies. I, unfortunately, was Data. Lol

game off! ......... game on !

Still do it with our neighborhood kids

Then waiting impatiently on the side of the street with the bat or ball in your hand. And sometimes, just seconds later, another car!

Mystic River

Playing touch football in the street. Thee was always one bully who would purposely push you so hard or trip you so you crashed into the pavement and came up with bloody hands.

Game on!!

So I had a bad childhood because I didn't play outside or in the street?

I went for Ulysses 31 and Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors when I was a kid.

It’s always hammertime

I would give anything to have some of this again.

So many scars...the rounded bear claw ones were the worst

Rocky Horror and Clue

Nobel prize for literature, right there

Indeed we did, yes ma'm. ;-)

"We totally should have nuked woodstock"

Taking a break from riding all over the place eating Ding Dongs that came wrapped in aluminum foil, drinking Tang and battling tanks on Atari 2600 before taking off on another adventure!

I show my age by confessing that I knew the names of all the songs these lines came from straight away

And don't forget, that was supposed to be 3D!

Looney Toons too!

Underrated!

You can still buy these.

"2 mints in one"

For non-Americans, that's Parental Guidance content rating.

Bring out the black light!

I have a photo of my mum who was very visibly pregnant with me smoking a cigarette.

The display of my childhood computer would be a typewriter.

RIP, Robin. You were a genius.

and in the afternoon and in the evening...

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I get it. Anybody else?

Your momma is so stupid/fat/lazy...[insert random offensive insult here]...battle it out, everyone laughs, and we all play dodgeball or G.I. Joe until the street lights came on.
