I never thought of it before, but I don’t ever remember carrying water with me as a kid and when thirsty, we would use a green garden hose! And here I am, nearing 72!
I didn’t carry water when I was younger but now we carry many bottles of water, water from the tap having many problems but plastic bottles are not good either! In the past the water was in glass bottles.
It is crazy...I know we never got to get water at school except after we were on the playground or at lunchtime. We had water fountains that we had to line up at to get a little drink maybe twice a day. That is an interesting observation. I carry my Tervis water cup with me now everywhere I go. My mouth gets so dry, so I feel like I need a swig every so often to keep me from coughing or just being too dry. I rarely drink bottled water, however, unless there is no other option available. I take my own "filtered water" with me. But I never would've thought of such a thing when I was a child or even as a young adult. Interesting...
Same!! and if we did want a drink, we grabbed the water hose. My kiddos buy water at Sam's Club like there won't ever be anymore water. lol. I promise, they have at least 6 or 7 cases at all times in their house. I NEED TO DRINK MORE WATER THOUGH..
I don't understand it either, but I'm thinking it has to do with all the processed & junk food they are eating. It's cliche, but I sure did drink out of the water hose when I was outside playing. Mama didn't care for us traipsing in and out for water breaks.
I never thought about it - but so true! Lol Although my parents weren't as smart about sunscreen and now I paying the price. 😉 So maybe change can be a good thing too. 😊
I'm with Shug about needing to drink more water for my health. As a kid I was a Green Hose Guzzler too., oh yes there was a water fountain at school but it was always warm and tasted terrible. Sue

ReplyDeleteI don't remember carrying water with me when I was a child.
ReplyDeleteFunny! But true! Way back when no kid ever carried around water or even attempted to drink it if not thirsty. And we lived and are here today!
ReplyDeleteLOL. I like the comparison with a beached orca : )

ReplyDeletelol.
ReplyDeleteI never used to carry water with me either. We had the garden hose when we got thirsty.
ReplyDeleteVery funny and very true! Hugh Grant talked about this in an interview and it was very amusing.

ReplyDeleteYou know I hadn't thought of that, but it is true. And those expensive mugs they carry and have a few of each!
ReplyDeleteVery true

to much internet might be the answer, we used to drink from a hose closest to where we were when we go thirsty.

ReplyDeleteIt's so true! Water and phones. How did we survive without them?! LOL
ReplyDeleteWho would ever have thought of buying a bottle of water when I was a kid!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember carrying water with me when I was a child.
ReplyDeleteTimes have changed haven't they!
All the best Jan
lol...I understand this one completely. Only now I find myself with my water bottle close at hand, too. I guess I learned it from my kids? lol
ReplyDeletelololol
ReplyDeleteThe obsession with drinking water is truly a phenomenon. I almost never drink water. My libation of choice is Diet Dr. Pepper, hahahaha xoxo
