My friend and I were just laughing about this. Do you have funny stories from back then that would never happen to you or your kids nowadays?
In middle school, my dad was taking me to Kelly's house. We lived 5 miles on the outskirts of town, so once he got into town he said "OK- where does she live?" I froze and was like "I have no idea! Mom always brings me and I don't pay attention to the roads" (there were no cell phones so I don't know what the hell I was watching the whole ride?) He had to drive back home so we could use the house phone to call her house phone and ask for directions.
Still can't believe I drove across the country with my best friend and a paper map in 2007. That probably sounds so ridiclous to @ohannabelle who probably drove the country 18 times with paper maps hahah. Not calling you old- I swear!
Oh and remember doing homework and reports with encyclopedias?!
