Didn't Monty Python do this sketch?  I think it ended with "Yeah, well, when
I was five, make us get up every morning, walk on our hands the fifteen
miles to school, through the snow, write out the times tables with our toes,
walk home on our hands, cook supper, clean the shack...."


"Shack?  You had a shack?  We dreamed of a shack.  We lived under a
bridge..."


"Oh, I'd have given my eye teeth for a bridge.  We lived in a cardboard
box..."

"Our cardboard box got burned down..."
