"It was free. You could walk anywhere. Everything was kept up. People took care of their lawns. If you stepped on it by accident they'd be waving their fist at you! And in those days the schools we went to we had good teachers and everything was free. All our books and paperwork. Everything was given to us as part of the education. We were able to walk to any school we wanted to except in highschool because some were further away.

"mm mm" as in no. "By accident we made a wrong turn. I was with Mark [her son] and we got turned around and we went down the street we used to live on and trees were overlapping, windows broken, and all kind of graffiti at the end of the block where we used to walk. It was terrible."

"Well for what I remember they were getting ready for the war and a lot of the food was rationed where they got cards, my parents got cards, and they were able to only buy certain types of foods. A lot of people went to Canada and would buy food and come back. Times were tough but on the farm we had all the farm animals to get our food from. We had to prepare all that. I remember...this stays in my memory because it bothers me. I was 5 or 6 and they would go to kill a pig and those pigs would squeal, and I remember running out and running away as far as I could. But they had to do it to be able to survive. And they had a cellar below the house where they would keep the food there because it was cold in there. They probably had ice in there."

"These days?! Oh I think they're just ...I think first they should train the parents because the kid can stand on his head and the parent says 'Oh look at little Johnny isn't he cute?!' and I'm thinking 'omg lady you better give him some orders and teach him how to be a kid.' Also, they dress up these little kids that are 4, 5, 6 years old that don't wanna be dressed up and put them on TV. You guys didn't [talking about me, I'm 24] have that stuff. People go to these places to dance and act and have make up and they're still babies. And I think things have changed terribly. It's not teaching the kids anything. I think the parents do it because they think they're gonna make a lot of money. And these are just normal looking kids. Nothing special!"

Sorry it took so long, i want to tell you exactly what she says :)

"There's gonna be another one pretty soon. You watch...with this Ukraine. And this Obama on TV. He's a movie star. And his wife, and kids, are in China...Tax. Payer. Money. And we didn't know we were taking all this tax payer money."

[So do you think we'll go to war? (Trying to get her back on track)]

"Well...what's happening with Russia...and Russia's always been against U S of A. And these leader's they've had. And this Putin....you see him there without a shirt? He's a movie star...him and Obama should get together. They think they're movie stars!"

"Well ya know I can't even give an answer for that because the last few generations have been so different from when I grew up and so much freedom and so much money, that the kids as they're growing up, don't know the difference. My 16 year old great grandchild has a Jaguar! Not a brand new one but still! [So your answer to secret to happiness is...?] Kids are spoiled! They have too much. Parents aren't as involved as when I was a kid. [So you have no answer?] Get along, do the right thing, and I think that's a part of being happy. But the younger generations, they're spoiled..."

I think that's all we're gonna get. She doesn't want to get off the spoiled child topic haha. I can tell you what I think we're getting at but I don't want to paraphrase if you don't want me to.
