1. Holidays were a little different Down Under:
2. And it kinda felt like the movies were lying to you:
3. Meanwhile your Christmas carols sounded like this:
4. The TV shows you grew up watching were highly questionable:
5. And not always totally appropriate:
6. Thongs 100% counted as sports shoes:
Only in Australia... #Australian #Aussie #straya #meanwhileinaustralia #growingupaustralian
7. And this was a real hardship:
8. This school rule was the WORST:
9. You were educated from a young age:
10. Like, really educated:
11. Primary school classes in Australia could really take on a strange turn:
12. And school responsibilities often turned weird:
13. While this was just a standard lunchtime procedure with your friends:
14. You've definitely, 100% done this before on a hot day:
15. Because drinking out of the hose probably provided cooler water than drinking out of a tap at times:
16. Sometimes traumatic experiences in your childhood just couldn't be predicted nor stopped:
17. And for some unknown reason a possum was the authority on your bed time????
18. This will be forever burned into your brain:
19. I mean, really, a lot of our ads were questionable:
20. This was the real fairytale we were all invested in:
"You look so hot today Rhonda" #GrowingUpAustralian
21. And forget spiders, certain personalities on TV had the power to terrify you:
22. Your mum probably had a habit of switching over to this ~news~ instead of letting you watch Home and Away:
23. This was the only boy band you ever needed:
24. And Jeff was definitely our kindred spirit:
25. Growing up in Australia meant you knew no one ever really said "G'day, mate!":
#GrowingUpAustralian Non Australian: G'DAYY MATEE Me:
26. While some problems still affect us to this very day:
27. And if we're being honest with ourselves, do we still even know the second verse?
