Remember this ?
If it was a nice day out, you WALKED to school. You knew better than to dawdle or be late.
If elderly spoke to you, you spoke very nicely back.
Ma'am and Sir were not options, they were how you addressed folks.
YOU did not decide if you were watching tv, or eating a certain food, your parents did.
Remember when you were not rewarded for good grades/behavior, it was expected of you?
Remember the family dinner hour. You had to be in bed dying to be excused.
Sunday was family day . You did not venture out in the hood, you did family stuff.
Remember going to the store /riding you bike and getting sugar if your mom was out and being trusted with the money and responsibility?
And here is a biggie- everything was basically homemade for food.
