A wire coat hanger shoved into the back of the TV to get it working
Going next door to borrow the phone because you've been downloading something all day and didn't want to lose it
Being hyper aware of the current status of the street lights in summer evenings
Could you please explain the one with the street lights for me?
Kids were out all day, with the only rule of being home when the street lights came on
Ah, OK. Street lights weren't a good indicator for time when I grew up. I live too far north. Street lights would turn on at 1400 in the winter and never in the summer. That's why I was gifted a wristwatch when I was 8 or so.
That's still a thing in the city & country towns with closely nit housing. Sure, these days most can just check their phone for the time, but not every kid has a smartphone, which is a good thing.
Millennial, Zillennials and GenZ had this rule, it's only just started dying out with Gen Alpha.
Lol I think gen x had this rule. And probably even boomers.
