David: "Water? We bloody dreamed of water. We had to go fishing in the desert AND we had to grow our fish from sticks."
Phil: And we were happy! But try telling kids these days and they won't believe you.
Eric: I should be so lucky. The disbelief of kids these days is the least of it for me. After you tell 'em, they smile in disbelief, then they burn the village down, slay the oxen, poison the wells, salt the fields, and transmit a message to their interstellar minions -- the ones from beyond Jupiter -- who show up wanting to sell all manner of loathsome arts-and-crafts knickknacks with Grateful Dead stickers on them. Months later, having extricated yourself to a different time zone, when you try to tell other kids about it ... well it just gets worse and worse.
