When I Was Your Age...

Over the years I've been trying to figure something out. Maybe you, my friends and family members who happen to read my blog can help me out. We've all heard the stories of how an older family member had to walk 5 miles just to get to school. Barefoot. In the snow. All uphill. Yeah, that's the story. But I don't understand how the trip to and from school everyday was ALWAYS uphill. That was a 5 mile commute that they walked each day. Barefoot. And in the snow. Wouldn't you think that at some point that hill would go down! And what about that snow? Did it snow everyday of the year? Were there NO summers? Seriously? I've just been thinking about this lately and thought I'd just share this with you.
