It was a necessary reminder to our Boomer parents, who generally devoted little or no effort to worrying about things like this.

A wise man once said,
“Do you know where your children are? Because it’s now 12 O’Clock. If they’re somewhere out on the street, just imagine how scared they are”

[MrSamer]

"I TOLD YOU LAST NIGHT, NO!!!!"

[rally]

That was a reminder to let parents know they have kids

Why does this phrase chill me to the bone? I guess i watch too much true crime.

It's Ten o' clock, Ho. Where the fuck your seed at? - Wu Tang

"I told you last night NO! Where is Bart anyway? His dinner is getting all cold and eaten".

I was an 80's child. The rule was once the street light came on, get home or no dinner.

I loved this question for some reason. It’s remained in my head

[morgana.]

Is nobody gonna talk about how eerie and creepy this stuff would pop out, cause in the 80's children were getting snatched so bad they gotta put this on the TV?

[corcon]

“It’s 10 o’clock H0* where tf ya seed at?”

[Saphthings]

Omg I found my people! Every time anyone ever says its __ O'clock, I always have to finish with, "Do you know where your children are?" and no one ever know what im talking about lol Anyone else go through this? lol

[wendym]

Always made me laugh. Really?! There were parents who didn’t know?!

[Ya]

I remember this came on when I was little & my mom said yup right here 🤣💯

[thomass]

My left ear enjoyed listening to this video

I find it odd that parents cared less about their children back then. Very strange. Glad I didn't grow up in that era.

[michaelmyers]

To quote homer simpson " I told you last night, no! " lol

[tone]

"I already told you yesterday, NO!"
-Homer Simpson

[stevemcelmy]

I was the flip side of this phrase. It was 10pm and I had no clue where my dad was 😂

[JayLa-ctuk]

Just hearing that phrase alone is nightmare fuel
