That's because your grandfather's childhood was shoveling shit, or shoveling coal, or shoveling snow, or shoveling dead baby animals into the furnace... it was never fun and always involved shoveling. Your grandfather was damn happy not to be a child anymore because being a child used to suck balls. The best that you could hope for was to go to bed without being given something to cry about.A buddy at work said this, and I agree.
"We are the first generation that remains nostalgic about the things we loved as children, our hobbies and entertainment. Our grandfathers do not think about their favorite TV shows, toys, or past times. We however, have Transformers and G.I. Joe emblems tattooed onto us."
We did grow up, and get nice jobs, and have families. Maybe we're just the first generation that didn't define shitty childhoods as our personal legacies. Thanks to our grandfathers, childhood wasn't a cross to bear. They earned their rights to watch their grandchildren enjoy simple things, then make lives for us without making us see what they saw. Then they watched cartoons with us.That's because your grandfather's childhood was shoveling shit, or shoveling coal, or shoveling snow, or shoveling dead baby animals into the furnace... it was never fun and always involved shoveling.

Instead your grandfather got tattoos about the things worth remembering; like women's tits, time spent in the military and the names of people he vowed to kill. You grandfather was a bad-ass and always wondered where the hell your parents went wrong with you.
He tried his best to teach you about the finer things in life; like drinking, smoking cigars, playing cards with your war buddies, shooting guns, and working on farm equipment. But you always started crying and he always had to get your mother to take you home before he went and got the belt to help "whip the girl outta yah".
We aren't the first generation to be nostalgic for our childhoods, we're the first generation that missed our opportunity to grow the fuck up.

This is not even remotely true.Our grandfathers do not think about their favorite toys, or past times.
