Im a younger GenX, and i remember drinking from the hose regularly. I am a stereotypical genXer in some regards; i drank from the hose, i was a latchkey kid of sorts, i played outside til the streetlight came on. Mostly unregulated, left to my own devices. We also lived out in the middle of the boonies so it likely had something to do with me growing up mostly unsupervised. I got my first shotgun back when it was taller than i was.
I grew up building forts out in the woods, and sleeping in them overnights. Id take a rifle or my .410 with me and disappear for a day or two during summers. I got to chase frogs, and dig holes, drink stump water, that sort of shit. Maybe my life was more of the typical poor trailer trash in the middle of nowhere than typical GenX, on second thought.
I thought it was GenX because they used to drink from the water hose?
I’m gen Z and I did that lol
I’m an elder millennial and I have fond memories of drinking from my cousin’s water hose in the summer when we went outside to play with toy swords.
