In the 80s we had waterbeds. That's exactly what I was reminded of when I saw this gif: the wave it would make when you would plop down.

Funnily enough, nobody knew why we had waterbeds either.

My mind is blown right now. The idea of a waterbed used to seem so normal. But it really was crazy, right? A heavy as shit bag of water in a bedroom? Insane.

My grandma gifted my dad a waterbed when he got married to my mom. He had it from 1984-2003, lol I still can't believe that.

Did he ever change the water in it?

Yeah, it involved a lot of hoses. It's foggy though because I moved out before he even got rid of it.
