Everyone in middle school

I remember when I got a pretty one to replace my dad's clunky one ☺️ mom would page us & we'd better find the nearest pay phone ASAP...knew where they were at all times, always cattying change!

Over Easter, my niece showed us her new calculator and that she could type hello with it… she was super proud.

Then she asked me if I knew any other words. I was able to come up with Shell and LOL, and I even explained 143, but then I had to lie and say I did not know any other others.

the joke in my milieu was you would type that on a calculator, ask someone something like "what would a lady be if she lost this many pounds," then turn the calculator upside down. BOOBLESS! GET IT??

not sure if other playgrounds had this level of sophistication

I was a junior in high school when I got a beeper.

Where is the 3rd year of high school considered middle school?

In the US junior refers to 11th grade, the second to last year of high school. Middle school would be more like 6th grade.

Ah. I thought you meant junior high not junior in high. My bad

I took one look at that and asked if they had 80085. They don’t get it.

I sent a pic of these plates to my son. The first thing he said is “Why couldn’t they be 80085?”

So we call the car “Bobbs” now.
