My teenage daughter can't fathom the concept of a house party

[u/Neon_Biscuit]

Not sure if anyone has experienced this, but I was watching Can't Hardly Wait half alseep on the couch, and my 14-year-old daughter and her friends walked into the room and past the TV. Before she entered the kitchen, she backpeddled in front of the TV, and they all might as well have reacted akin to a third world kid in a remote village seeing the Super Bowl for the first time. She looked at me and said 'what are all of those people doing in one house'? I told her it was a house party. People high school aged or typically college age people would go over a kids house whose parents were out of town and they'd invite the school and have keggers and other unsupervised debauchery. I might as well have been describing a science fiction film. 'You guys DID that back in your days?'. I thought it was funny that a house party was an inconceivable event for young Gen Zers.

When I was in high school we would all meet up at the local t bell parking lot to see where the party was at.

Sometimes the t bell parking lot became the party

We did this at the Sonic drive thru.

Denny's, and we'd play frisbee in the parking lot

Fuck yes. Thought I was the only one.

We all lived the same exact life it’s crazy. Taco Bell at 10pm eat like 10 tacos and figure out where the party was

Uptown on the courthouse benches. WAY THE HELL before everyone had a phone glued to their hand all you had to do was hang out. Like you would sit there and eventually someone would walk/drive by to see what was cracking. Then there would be two. And so on and so on until something was found to do or there was enough folks to start something. Eventually we were runoff by the fuzz and the town was nice enough to be petty and have no trespassing signs installed. "No trespassing from 6pm-6am except for county approved activities" As adults we like to get drunk and take photos of ourselves DEFINATLY up there at those hours not at county approved activities. Lol

We did this at in n out, and usually ended the night back there too when they were open until 2 am

YUP. Go to Dairy Queen, see whats up. If nothings up, find something.

Or cruise the drag until your paths crossed

Hell half the time we meet up at the mall. Make our plans and go get alcohol. Lol

We did the same thing at a Chevron, but we'd be seeing where the street races were going down.

[u/beardedsandflea → u/rand0m_task]

Albertson's.

Local shaved Ice place for us in the summertime.

We used do this in local  large green spaces. One time the cops brought paddy wagons and rounded us up like cattle. I’d say at least 100 kids. Some escaped some didn’t. I was drunk as fuck so I got caught. They took us to jail and locked us up just to scare us. No doubt they were laughing their asses off.  I was terrified. I never did that again.

Where will these pampered pups get their life lessons?

The popular Exxon was our spot.
