My grandma once told me that her grandparents complained about how much better their childhood was and how much my grandma’s generation was ruining the world.
She says she generally doesn’t think of her childhood as the good old days because it can be summed up in “Great depression,” then “world war 2.”
It always seems things were better when you were a kid whenever that was. Times were a bit simpler, is true. But I’ll still take today’s technology over what we had when I was a kid.
Yeah, the good ole days of air raid siren tests, Nike missiles in your neighborhood, duck and cover drills in schools, the McCarthy Hearings on your back & white tv, the Red Menace, racial intolerance and homophobia… Yep, really want to go back to those days !

I think “these trying times” still apply to today.

The good old days are good mainly because they are old.

Back then, they thought the times were trying. Little did they know that in comparison to their future, they would be “good old days”.

Yes, when life was simpler – no cell phones, only a few channels of TV

Maybe they should be called the “good young days”, since we were younger then.

A great definition of reminiscing: remembering the past without reliving the pain.

I used to get in the middle of a mess and declare,
“These will be thought of as the good old days?”
And, sho’ ’nuff, they were.

The good old days. When we weren’t so good and we weren’t so old.
