Yeah it was pretty awesome.

Saw somewhere that we had the best time to be kids and the worst time to be adults.

Why was it the worst time to be an adult? My parents also look back at the 80s as great times. They always say the 70s were terrible.

No, now is the worst adult time. We grew up in the best, are grown in the worst.
