We survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.

Actually, my mother smoked all during her pregnancy with me (I was born in '62) and I was delivered not breathing and had to be resuscitated and then lived three weeks in an oxygen tent. My mother was so upset that she took me out of the tent and tried to take me home one night and the Air Police found her walking toward base housing (Robins AFB, GA) with me wrapped in a blanket. They put me back in the hospital. Then my dad came to sit with me and I started choking on the gook in my lungs and throat. He grabbed me from the panicked nurse and held me upside-down by my feet and slammed me on my back until all the gook came out of my lungs. He said my gray color went away and I instantly reddened-up looked like a normal baby. So, not everything about the good old days was so good. Yes, I survived but just barely.

Riding bikes without helmets all day long and your parents had no idea where you were until you came home for dinner was pretty neat though!
