One question for you How do children live today? Renting a room is costly. In the seventies Eighteen could rent a full house For a hundred bucks a month This could possibly Today pay for candy bars In our expensive world Eighteen lives at home With his parents and siblings As does twenty-eight Sometimes thirty-eight It is so expensive now To be a grown up...
