Remember?

I can remember when candy bars were 5 cents. Now they’re 35 cents.

I remember when men asked for your phone number and then called you. Now they just collect numbers.

I remember when you could reach inside someone’s car and turn off their lights so the battery wouldn’t die. Now the doors are locked and the alarms are set.

I remember when only old folds said, “I remember when.” I’m 37.
