If you could live in any decade except for this one and any future ones what one would it be? Tell us without saying what decade.

It was a time when there was a real change from the old to the new. It was a prosperous time for Americans. Flapper fashion was a thing. Electricity was becoming more common. Babe Ruth and Amelia Earhart.

Bell bottom or flare jeans. I have to come up with things for you Americans or you won't understand me. Gough Whitlam but that's Aussie. This is difficult. I have to go Google your president. It was not Donald Trump, that much I can tell you. Richard Nixon. Bee Gees and Queen.

Do we get told what decade or do we guess? I have to think about this or really look up so I can find out what decade I want.

This is a tough one. I like my comforts and I don't want to be a kid again.

It is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.

I can't come up with a decade. There's things from each decade that I'd like to have now but there's just as many things that I wouldn't want to have revisit us.

I'm with Quinn on this one. I'd like to return to a time before technology took over everything but I wouldn't want to lose the benefit it gives to people with disabilities. I wish there were more kids outside riding their bikes and meeting up to play a game of basketball or kickball or go swimming. I would like for schools to be smaller and more of a neighborhood school so the kids would know each other's families. I would probably like most of things about the 1970's. I was born at the end of 1979 so maybe I'd be a 1960's baby and grow up in the 1970's.

There were lots of video arcades and all the games were a quarter New wave music hit its peak The world was introduced to Indiana Jones
BUT...
Homophobia and discrimination against people with AIDS was rampant Bicycle helmets weren't a thing Two words: New Coke
Also, I would never want to relive my teen years - once was enough. Life is already like a long day in junior high school, why would I want to go back there?

How come life is like junior high school? We do not do junior high school no more. I am in just plain old high school and I like life how it is. At least most of the time. I just want to be born when I was in 2006 so I can crush on Justin Bieber before he got married and stuff and maybe I would like to skip Trump and how he makes people hate each other.

It's just a saying. You may find that even in the workforce and in the adult world, there are "in" and "out" groups. There are cliques - at church, in neighborhoods, among parents, etc. When Ms. Vince was pastoring a church, she observed that there were even cliques in the old widows Sunday school class - gossip, inside jokes, exclusionary behavior. It is an part of the human condition to engage in tribal behavior, but honesty and trust often are lost to tribal thinking, as well as the ability to form relationships outside our "tribe".

My mom has a thing that says something like, if you have to tiptoe then you're not with your tribe.

We have to have a guess at the decade. My guesses are: Cathianne is 1920's Tatiana is not saying. Addy is 1960's Kim basically told, she can't keep a secret . She's the 1970's. Vince is the 1980's.
