When our parents were young #shorts

As a father I can confirm this. I had to work 25 hours per day and only stones to eat. And I was glad when I've got them.

“I had to walk to school up hill, both ways!” My dad actually said this 😂

[TwopennyKing]

"how do you go both ways uphill" "YOU DARE USE LOGIC AGAINST ME!?"

[rashmijain]

Back in my day I used to walk 20 miles uphill both ways on one leg. The other leg was starting a business

The cheek of this child to ask to go swimming, a healthy leisure activity, on his day off! That father was very lenient not to punish him for such behaviour.

[Sverance]

School being uphill is very relatable, i will tell stories to my children about the experience

As a father i can confirm. I had to arm wrestle a silverback, that my father stole from a zoo on a drunken binge, daily in order to gain his approval to work a second job to afford my toothpaste.

my dad whenever I simply express discomfort for literally anything:

edit: JESUS THANKS FOR THE LIKES GUYS.

[Helkym_Drinks]

I love how the journey to school is uphill and the way back is also uphill

[sheldonramlogan]

As a Dad... he had it good. Nice clothes... back pack... wow.... in my days...

Don't forget the part about having to fight robbers everyday on your way back home.

[purplemoonshine]

As a Gen X-er, this is accurate. There were also dangerous edibles disguised as candy being sold in playgrounds by random strangers that happened to be there, backpacks that carried the equivalent of 3 sacks of uncooked rice, and clothes without proper insulation that forced us to walk faster uphill to ensure heat generation.

His expressions makes it 10x funnier 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[MessageViolation]

He was a bit dishonest in his story. It was really uphill both ways, and it was snowing year round, and the snow was waist high. Perhaps he was trying to be humble by leaving out the entirety.

[sunnie]

"It's 20 miles, all uphill."
"It's 40 miles, all uphill."

This cracked me up. 😂

Dad: "Snaps arm back into place"
Farcry animators: "TAKE NOTES GUYS, TAKE NOTES!"

[art_by_olivia]

you forgot to add the "we also had to fight 5 dragons and trolls on the way"

I remember sleeping in a paper bag in the middle of the road. School? Luxury! I worked 48 hours a day in the mines. At 3am my dad would come home to beat me to sleep with a broken bottle. We had to jump out of the paper bag to catch roadkill to eat all while trying to avoid being hit by cars. Run uphil? Luxury! Both my legs were bent by polio and still I had to crawl twenty miles over broken glass. The youth of today...
