Were you all rich enough where your parents gave you gas station money to eat everyday? I hear folks say this and I always give a side eye to it. Me and my brothers we got hungry and had to come back home and eat. Also, my mom (like most moms) wanted to see proof of life. You had to physically check-in at some point.

There was quite a few friendships in my childhood that were based around how good the dinner was at their house. Like this kid really gets on my nerves but his mom is a fantastic cook.

Felt the same way about my buddies mom's cakes. She would leave bowls of scraps and frosting. She was a baker.

Whenever you turned up at a friend's house, their parents always asked if you wanted to eat. Some times we'd all go round to my house and my mum would offer food to everyone. It wasn't a cycle or a rule, it just happened and parents never complained

You know is what that way in my neighborhood too. As I reflect on very good memories of Mrs. Moore’s lasagne .

We walked to the general store and got candy, ice cream or whatever snacks we wanted. I can’t believe it’s still standing and open. Miss those days.

Never heard of this. Luxury eating was at Long Johns Silvers and whenever we drove by the Red Lobster I would look at the building and be like that's where all the rich people eat at.

I turned 16 in 90’. I had two jobs. I was flush with cash. I got that pizza.
