- we didn’t trade tiny animal-shaped glorified rubber bands. we traded stickers. real, hard-core, collectible stickers. some of them were squishy and held real value.
- nobody’s bottom was hanging out the back of their jorts. this is because we wore pants large enough to swallow small african nations. the cargo pockets alone could hold two binders and your tamaguchi. this was important.
- our favorite disney pop star wasn’t all over television half-naked and singing about how she “won’t be tamed”. our favorite disney character suffered from severe social anxiety. she was a social outcast. she carried on entire conversations with this little cartoon version of herself flopping all around her head tripping over shit. lizzie mcguire. the world needs you now.
- vampires weren’t hip. they weren’t in. we enjoyed sunshine and laughed at the notion of werewolves. we had crushes on aaron carter and leo dicaprio. real, blonde, living manly-men.
- the cool kids in school made bomb threats so that we could spend entire days on the playground throwing grass at each other. also they didn’t post nudie pictures of their girlfriend on fbook.
- lol brb rofl jk omg weren’t words. we used complete sentences.
