Long time lurker 1st time poster...
And apologies in advance for lack of length and funnies, be gentle!

The past may have been shit for a lot of reasons; due to once being a child/teen I remember not having a disposable income, not having a car, not having any plans for the future or anything in particular to look forward to. But it was when I was over a friends house about 2 years ago that I heard the line I'll never forget. (And apologies again in advance as it wasn't the most profound or funny thing ever mentioned, it just stuck with me).

We were both bored on a slow Sunday with not much to do, no one we knew was around that weekend and we were pretty poor it being late in the month, but not late enough for Wage Fun Times. He just said "you know when we were younger we never had to sit and think of things to do involving money or anything like that. Just hanging around together was enough". And it's true. When we were younger we could waste hours trying to hit the telephone lines with stones or throwing balls (behave!) at each other in the fields or a hundred other seemingly inane activities. But as we got older it became less socially acceptable to do that and we were more inclined to spend time (and wages/dole money) in the pub.

Although that's not to say they ever stopped being fun we just, kind of, grew out of doing that all the time.

Write more confidently
You're apologising for imagined criticisms all the way through that.

Also, something really mean about your mum followed by a vulgar non-sequiter.

OK it was just
All the imagined criticism for a less than entertaining story that took too long to write that was spurring the apologies etc.

Would have taken less time
If you took out the first paragraph, the last line and the word ‘behave’.

It would
But alas it'd take even more time to go back and edit.

Unfortunately not or
Maybe the two of us wouldn't have been so stuck for things to do with/to each other.

Please don't say 'interwebs', thanks in advance.

Well next time
I will endeavour to spell it with the appropriate punctuation although the diluted 'unpure' version I have used I believe I got from reading this site
