Comedian Breaks Down How Kids Today Have It Much Easier

A comedian broke down how kids today have it much easier. Mike Goodwin hilariously explained how life today for children differs greatly from when he was growing up. Watch the short but hysterical clip as Mike, with spot-on accuracy, mentions how kids today have everything much easier.

Everyone believes things were much more difficult for them growing up than things are today. People make that statement so frequently that it has become a cliché. Whenever someone starts a sentence with the phrase, "Back in my day," you know what is coming. It will be a tale about how life was much tougher in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.

In some instances, those people are correct. But more often than not, it's just the person complaining about today's youth. They don't provide any examples, but go on to state how horrible and spoiled they believe children to be today. In a clip posted on YouTube, Mike uses this commonly used idea and phrase in his stand-up routine and provides some hilarious examples to support his conclusion.

Mike says that his children travel better than he did as a kid. They stay in hotels and have their own beds. Mike wasn't as lucky.

"I ain't stay in no hotel when I was a kid," he said. "We stayed at a relative's house, and I slept in the bed with four other little kids. And I would pray every night, 'Please Lord, do let nobody wet this bed.' Oh, but that prayer would fall on deaf ears every time."

Later in the clip, Mike added how technology has made searching for information a lot easier for children today. When he was growing up, he didn't have that luxury. When unsure how to spell a popular animal, he searched the dictionary, but his hunt for the spelling of this particular word hilariously did not work out.

"I could remember not knowing how to spell the word, and I would ask my mother how to spell a word," he said. "You know what my mother would tell me? 'Look it up in the dictionary.' I was like, 'Momma, I don't know how to spell the word.' Y'all, I spent four weeks in the Ls looking for elephant."

Job 8:21 "The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips."
