80s big hair. I see pictures and think, "that was 40 years ago"?

When I asked my friend’s child to change the channel on the tv and her response was “what’s a channel?”

In college, my roommates and our next door neighbors shared a phone with a really long cord. We handed the phone through the window when someone in the next door room needed to use it.

Wearing my house key on a string around my neck so I could let myself in after school -- in the 4th grade. I was home alone till my parents got home from work around 6.

When I lost the key (several times) they didn't replace it immediately. Then I was free-range till they got home.

I was watching a rom-com last year and the heroine goes inside a house and says hey to a guy. I think he’s cute as the love interest, and it turns out he’s her DAD. He was around my age, 49.

OMG -- Going to a friend (who we've never met) of my GRANDPARENTS' house (while on our regular two week summer visit as kids) to watch a slide show of their recent trip somewhere. Usually somewhere not particularly interesting! Arg!

My wife and went to visit a friend of hers from elementary school. As we pulled up to the house, a woman our age came out and waved.

For some crazy reason, I totally thought "That must be Larla's mom."

I was away for a year and returned home. At the airport, my father was there standing next to an old lady. My mother had stopped dyeing her hair apparently.

HaHa!!

Same here! I would lose the key and had to just hang outside in early elementary school, including in winter. This was in Minnesota.

Unimaginable now. Similarly, parents would run late to pick you up from a junior high school dance and you could just be unsupervised out in the dark.
