Da often-largely-bu**s**t "you think THAT'S difficult/meager/boring?? You coddled soft-livin' young people of today haven't a bleepin' CLUE about how dull/tough/harsh things USED to be for the common person!" retort given by arrogant elders to try to brush off a whiny-but-often-perfectly reasonable/legitimate request/complaint/excuse proffered by someone "from da newer generation".
Before you go sagely wagging your finger and snorting, "Why, when I was a boy..." anytime a younger person whimpers/protests to you about something, you should first seriously consider whether whatever "way back when" condition that you are referring to was truly fair/wise/healthy, or if it was merely based on the "unenlightened" prejudiced/close-minded/stereotypical thinking, unawareness/disregard for basic health/safety concerns, etc. which was so tragically rampant "back in the good ol' days", such as toxic building-materials, leaded gasoline, racial hatred, disregard for the dangers of radioactivity, lack of tolerance/sympathy/allowances for physically and/or mentally-challenged citizens, etc. Maybe the "young whippersnapper" who is bringing his dissatisfaction to your attention does indeed have a valid point which stems from modern-day knowledge and progressive thinking --- again, just because YOU had to put up with all of that "insipid/hard/agonized-living" crap during your formative years does **not** arbitrarily mean that it was fair or safe or reasonable, and therefore you should not blindly use it as a justifying example of what said youngster should think/tolerate nowadays.

Get the Why, when I was a boy... mug.Hana.I means someone who is perfect. Hana. I is so perfect. She is the type of person to wait behind for you if you tie youre laces. She might seem like a bitch but when you become close with her she’s one of the kindest people ever. She would go to war for her friends. Her personality is amazing and so bubbly. She makes everyone laugh. Her body is perfect and so is her face. Her blue eyes would make anyone fall in love wth her. Her long beautiful hair is so pretty. She’s so perfect. The only thing bad about her is that she can be reallllyyyyy annoying sometimes. It’s cute though. She is really smart for some reason and good at most sports Most people are jealous of her and alot of people don’t like her. Hana is someone who is perfect If you have a Hana in youre life don’t let them go (Also i didn’t put her full last name because if she saw this i would Hate myself )
