AIDS

Amen. My formative sexual years were ok but definitely stunted by the general public fear of AIDS. Now there is tinder. 

Born too early.

Holiday family stuff, alas, i have no family i speak with.  No brothers or sisters, parents and grandparents all dead.  Maybe this is why i have no stress during the holidays.

Hot coworkers hitting on me.

I always thought I’d be lucky to grow up as an adult.  I think its because Ive always been an early riser so in like 2nd grade I’d get up an watch the news in the morning while my mom drank coffee and my brothers slept. Seemed like there were lots of murders.  Just assumed a lot of people got killed each night.  Maybe its just a Chicago thing...

Fires. For all the fire drills and learning stop drop and roll lessons, I thought for sure I'd be escaped fires more often.

I guess this may be more of an issue for California folks.

Big Foot tv shows and stories were popular in the late 70s.  The commercials were enough to give me nightmares.  One commercial in particular had Big Foot smashing it's arm through a picture window to snatch a girl off of a couch.   

Add grizzly bears and sharks for me.

Saw the same show! Slept with the lights on for 3 days.

I am in my mid 40's with two kids and I still don't feel like an adult.  I am not sure how or when that was supposed to happen but I missed it somehow.  Hahha

Bullies on playgrounds. Last couple times around there even the toughest looking 10 year olds didn't seem to want to mess with me.
