Hey y’all welcome back to the party it’s me your girl Brit reacts and today we are reacting via a kind suggestion to Karen Morgan telling us why 70s kids are the strongest generation let’s see what she has to say did I forget anybody who I forget X
Actually I didn’t forget X it’s a little trick because I was born the first year of Gen X or the last year of Jen Jones depending on which chart you look at but everyone forgets Gen X even CBS News forgot Gen X last year here they did
This whole thing on all the generations they did silent generation Boomers and then they skipped over 65 million of us Jan bradies and then they went right down to the Millennials and the post-millennials but here’s all y’all need to know about gen xers we don’t
Care we don’t care in fact we kind of like it that you left us off your little list CBS News cuz we’re like the secret dive bar that only the locals know about I love that I love that I can only guess that someone suggest that I watch this
Because they know they watch my channel enough to know how much I love the 70s and I wish I were a kid of the 70s like I there’s something there’s something magical also her pants are super magical um but I love that cuz I do feel like
Gen X is just perfectly far removed from the nonsense of social media and the need for fame and things and you know all that the world has turned into they are like piss Posh be gone you know what I mean we had our time our time was great y’all can
Have that we’re over here minding our business like it’s it’s so true um so I love that she said that let’s keep going we don’t advertise but we’re never going out of business right now the Boomers and particularly the Jen jonesers and the Gen xers we share some
Things in the first thing is we are strong people we didn’t need sunscreen seat belts we just laid out on giant sheets of aluminum foil that’s baby oil and iodine IOD that’s crazy hawaian Tropic Red Label we put our chairs Up on the Roof to get higher to the
Sun that is nuts we only turned over when the radio station told us to what he cares we grew up in the way way back seat of our mom’s station wagon rear facing at the people behind us I was just telling my husband like I saw a
I guess it was a meme on Instagram of a child in the front seat and they had like one of those it was like a leash you know the like harness leashes that you put on it’s like a kid leash and it was strapped to the front seat so the
Child was standing like there was enough tension for the child to sit and stand and the child was standing looking at out of the window of this old school car and the picture was in like black and white it was like sepia was the filter and I literally I don’t know how the
Conversation came up but I said do you know back in the day kids were like I’ve seen a picture of that and I’ve seen a picture of like the bar almost like the swing at a carnival the swing ride where you sit in the swings and your feet
Dangle and you go up and you just go around like that kind of strapped in mechanism I’ve seen those kind of tar SE they’re like metal and I’m just like car CH child car safety has come a long way and I guess this is the generation maybe where it was birth because she’s
Like I remember being a kid and being in the back of my aunt and uncle’s uh station wagon I think it was against the law at that point I don’t think we should have been doing it like maybe the 70s kids there were no like child safety
Laws but I Love My UNT Uncle they’re my favorite people on the planet um but yeah that just made me think of that Meme is please confirm if that’s true or false if you are a child of 7s a parent of the 70s I don’t know let me know if
That if those two mechanisms were what was used for child safety I get cars were built differently they didn’t do as many things and go as fast back then so I understand it I just like it threw me for a loop to see a child on a leash in
The front seat standing up looking out of the window while the car was in motion way back seat of our mom’s station wagon rear facing at the people behind us right just waving back there just nobody wore a seat belt not even in the front seat if your Mom’s arm wasn’t
Strong enough you deserve to go through the windshield I grew up with a mom who always put her arm in front of me if she thought there were any type of danger coming our way a brake light a banana peel that arm honey was stretching far across me
Okay we didn’t have helicopter parents back then in fact we had the opposite of helicopter parents we had Home Depot parents what a Home Dep where you think there should be someone working in the store that could help you but there isn’t but there’s no one
Around you’re on your own this is Home Depot do you need a skill saw that’s well there’s only one left in the whole store and it’s way up there so grab yourself one of those rolling staircases my friend roll it over there crawl and don’t pull it over yourself and cut your
Arm off cuz nobody’s going to take you to the hospital it’s okay I was definitely raised by a 70s kid this is wild like this is so wild to think about it’s so true my mom was born in 65 and so that makes her a kid in the 70s and I’m like
No literally this is this is what it’s like like f for yourself and figure it out and I I lend it towards me being the person I am today I I you know what I mean but this whole and no one’s going to take you to the hospital you guys I
Have a scar on my leg that is probably the length of like the side of this literally on my leg till this day it’s ke loed up I like my mom was a dance teacher she still teaches dance and I was there and in a room off somewhere and jumped off of a
