[kj] "Oughties"

[dub]

Funny you should say that, 
I married what could be termed my "high school" girlfriend, 
not in '84, but our eldest son was born in Apr. '84 :0)
For some reason I can't remember what we were listening to, 
most likely had something else on our minds' at the time!
He is now an expectant father, 
with his secondary school girlfriend, and he is an apprentice car
mechanic.
What's this early retirement thing you mention? ...LOL

if you had knocked up your high school girlfriend ( i puuuuuush!)
listening to eighties 
back then your child could be graduating - landing a cushy gig and
helping you out 
with early retirement!
