No, no. As my dear old dad relates it to me, the story goes: "...ten miles to school, uphill both ways, barefoot through knee-deep snow (the drifts were waist-deep), in sub-zero temperatures, year-round. Top THAT, whipper-snapper!" And that's only when
he was in school, in the '60s! of course, then, he had to deal with Vietnam protests, too... (he mostly tells me that story when I complain about our internet having issues. It's not even dial-up! It's DSL! It shouldn't have these problems!! am I a typical teenager or what?
) anywho, there are many branches to that story. Choose your own to tell the youngsters
you meet.
