My grandpa, bless his soul, used to grumble about the “good old days,” a phrase I heard countless times growing up. He’d be sprawled in his favorite armchair, the evening news flickering on the TV, and launch into tales of how things were different, better, simpler, somehow. He’d invariably bring up discipline, or the perceived lack thereof, in the modern age, specifically relating to how children behaved. His stance, unwavering, always led back to the idea that kids, “back in his day,” showed a level of respect – a deference to elders – that was, in his opinion, sorely missing today.

That usually triggered a story about my own childhood, and in my family it was usually me, the “mouthy one,” who was used to demonstrate the perceived decline in manners. I remember once, when I was probably eight or nine, daring to question his insistence that I finish my Brussels sprouts – a battle I’m pretty sure I lost. He’d tell this story, shaking his head, and his face would get all serious, as if remembering some historical, life-altering event. It never failed to make me squirm, even when I was older, and knew the story almost as well as he did.

Snoopy back in my day kids didn’t talk back to their parents shirt was often the catchphrase that cemented this belief. He’d point to the screen, whether it was some sitcom, or a commercial, and lament the supposed disrespect. “See that?” he’d bellow, his voice rising in that way it always did when he was worked up, “That wouldn’t have happened in my time. Kids knew their place.” And, truthfully, I guess they probably did. Life was different, wasn’t it? More rigid, perhaps.

I also remember seeing the evidence. He had a box of old photographs, black and white mostly, of his childhood. There were pictures of him, stiff and formal in his Sunday best, standing beside his parents, never a trace of a smile. His mother, my great-grandmother, a stern-looking woman, radiated authority. Looking at those photos, you got a clear sense of the generational gap and the power dynamics at play. It was a world that felt very far away from my own, where I sometimes cheekily argued with my parents over dinner, or the color of my room, or just, you know, everything. He’d finally sigh, and look over at me, his eyes softening, and say, “Well, maybe things are different now. But it doesn’t mean it’s right.” I could see the underlying sadness, a nostalgic longing for a world that simply no longer existed, a world where he, as a child, understood very clearly what was expected of him. Maybe he missed it. Maybe he just missed being young. I think, in the end, it wasn’t about the talking back. It was about the feeling that the world was changing so fast, and he was losing his grasp. And the Snoopy shirt? Well, it was always a good excuse to pull out the same old stories, and rehash his version of the truth, the one he held so close to his ass.
