#37: After School Special
Most Gen X kids came home to an empty house after school. Most parents were still at work, so Gen X had to fend for themselves until dinnertime. Unsupervised after-school time meant lots of junk food, soda, and cartoons. Basically, Gen X kids were living the life back in the day.
Forget using your newfound freedom to get into trouble! Freedom after school meant watching as many forbidden cartoons as possible while clogging your arteries with Cheetos Puffs, Mountain Dew, and other delicious snacks! Maybe, if you were lucky, you’d be able to bring a friend home with you to share those few hours of precious, uninterrupted access to the TV.
