The Best Dear Abby Letter Ever
This letter was in the newspaper today - I love it!
Dear Abby,
I am 10. I was born in 1994. My problem is I really, really wish I had lived in the '80s. I know this sounds stupid, but the style was awesome - not skanky. The music was great - not rap. The '80s seem awesome! I mean, they had good songs like "She Blinded Me With Science." The '80s seem so cool - at least people are always saying so.
Help, Abby, please. I'm sitting here listening to '80s music now. I wouldn't admit this to anyone else except my mom or dad.
BORN IN THE WRONG ERA
Dear In The Wrong Era,
I can't "fix" your problem, but it may comfort you to know that many people feel the way you do about various eras - and that includes the roaring '20s, the romantic '30s, the fashionable '40s, the revolutionary '60s, the experimental '70s, as well as the "awesome" '80s.
When you're older, you'll be able to satisfy your "itch" to live in the '80s by collecting music, clothing, and accessories from that decade. It's not exactly a trip back in time, but it will capture the nostalgia.
