‘Flying anywhere. When I was a kid a holiday overseas was about as unobtainable as a trip to the moon. Almost everyone we knew travelled by family car, bus, train, or ferry.

‘Flying has become sooo cheap.’

‘My friend’s mom almost always had an after-school snack waiting on the kitchen table. It was usually fruit, crackers with peanut butter, or celery with cream cheese, but sometimes it would be doughnuts or muffins from the grocery store bakery.

‘I was a latch-key kid, so having a snack ready rather than having to scrounge for one myself or wait for my mom to get home seemed luxurious to me.’

‘I grew up in a lower-middle class house. We had enough that I didn’t feel poor, even had a pool, but certain things were luxuries. Restaurant trips were one of them.

‘We’d go out to eat about once a month. I looked forward to it every time. Mom and Dad would let my sister and I order anything we wanted, including milkshakes and dessert if we wanted. Most of the time, they’d just split a small salad or a plain burger. When asked, they’d say “we had a big lunch.” I was about thirteen or fourteen when I saw them splitting a PB & J when we got home from the restaurant.

‘It was only years later that I realized that they loved seeing my sister and I happy, so they’d never tell us no on ordering when we went out. But, they didn’t have much money, so they’d skip their own treat to make us feel good.

‘Damn, I love my parents.’
