Do you remember when......
- When Kool aid was the only other drink for kids besides milk and juice?
- When there were 2 types of sneakers, Keds and PFFlyers and the only time you wore them at school was for gym? - When it took five minutes for the tv to warm up? - Nearly everyones mom was home when the kids got there? - When no one owned a pure bred dog? - When a quarter was a decent allowance? - When girls neither dated or kissed until late in high school, if then? - When your mom wore nylons that came in 2 pieces? - When you got your windshield cleaned, oil checked and gas pumped without asking......for free everytime and you didnt pay for air? And you got trading stamps to boot? - When any parent could discipline any kid or feed him or use him to carry groceries and nobody, not even the kid, thought anything about it? - When they threatened to keep a kid back a grade if he failed....and they did? - When being sent to the principals office was not as bad as the punishment awaiting a misbehaving student at home? Ahhhh the good old days....when Leave It To Beaver was tops, gas was 39 cents a gallon, and penny candy actually cost a penny. ~Kobi~

Our parents never had to look for a warning label on a single or an album
There was no such thing as "latch-key kids" You did what you were told to do and you NEVER thought of even asking, WHY??? Designated as civil defense shelters I remember having "air raid" drills where we learned how to get under our desk or in the hallway on the floor with our heads and necks covered There was a mother and father living at home We called our elders Mr. Mrs. or Miss. there was no Ms. then, and definitely we did not call elders by their first name Our parents knew exactly where we were and there were no posters seeking little children gone missing You could safely leave both front and back doors wide open and all the windows too, and trust that noone would come in and rob you You could go Trick or Treating and did NOT have to have your candy examined. When I was a kid everyone knew the mailman by his name. The Ice Cream truck driver knew all the parents AND the kids. The milk man came to my parents door. I remember playing outside with the other kids until dark and you came in when the street light came on..BTW I was told the "Tooth Fairy lived in what I know now to be the "transformer" box, on said light pole" I remember when students respected teachers There was no such thing as a "drug" problem There was a Drive In just outside of town Hide and go seek, Jacks and Jump rope. We ate meals at home there were no fast food places and when we went out to Dinner, we dressed nice and we knew to "mind our manners" Christmas toys were actual toys. You played outside and had to actually use your imagination. You drank out of the water hose because mom was moping the floors and cooking and she didnt want you getting things dirty. WE were the remote control and the channels were 2, 11, 13, 8, 26 and 39. Mutual of Omaha was on Sunday nights as well as The Wonderful World of Disney. Leave it To Beaver, I dream of Jeannie, The Munsters and I Love Lucy were after school favorites. Guns were for the police and the military We had manners! Yes Ma'am, No Ma'am, Thank you and No Thank you. Please and Your Welcome. NEVER a No or Ya or "Whatever" Shag carpet!! |

I remember my blue Schwinn stingray chopper banana seat bike with the high handlebars and the cool three speed shifter.
I loved that bike, wish I still had it lol |

Ahhh yes..those were the days.
I remember when...
I could go to the movies with a dollar...25 cents to get in...50 cents would get me an A&W root beer,candy and popcorn..the other 25 cents I saved for ice cream on the way home. coke was 10 cents in a glass bottle.I miss the taste of coke in a glass bottle ,nothing like it so cold and crisp. micky d's sold a burger for a dime...frys for a nickle. the police officers were respected and not feared. the world was a safer place to be.The cold war was still areoiund but I felt safe in my neighborhood. |
