      Same… I don’t understand what half of this even is saying. How is a garden hose a curfew? Parents turning off the water to let you know to come inside? If anything curfews themselves are more of a 90s thing because your parents couldn’t just call or text you to come home. I was always out on my bike exploring the neighborhood with my friends, with my only instructions “Be back by 6”.

          Yes it’s making fun of the originals that get passed around by people on Facebook, who think saying “I drank from the garden hose” makes them some damned icon that we should all strive to emulate.

            I’m a 90s kid but don’t use Facebook except as Craigslist for selling things.

            “I drank from the garden hose” is a way to say you’re from the 90s? What?.. what other stupid things are they saying? Do people not do this now? And they didn’t in the 80s? Were the 90s peak lawn?

              No it’s more just claiming superiority over current generations because their childhood was more ‘real’ or some shit. Same as people talking about how they played outside all day, how their parents beat the shit out of them when they were disrespectful, how they didn’t play video games, etc. These are usually followed with comments about how “the world has gone to shit” and “kids these days are so much worse.”

                Oh, that whole thing. Every generation has to put up with that. I don’t really want to be a cranky old man.

    My curfew was garden hose

    I mean come on. This is clearly not meant to be taken seriously, and the fact that it is may be a testament to OP’s editing skills or those of whoever OP got the post from.
