Babushka tied on the chin? NO WAY -- you'd be a social outcast. The were tied under the back of head. Never ever up front. ewwww

Yes, to the flames and name. Course, we were just thrilled if they had a car that ran!

Hinding in the trunk of the car to sneak into the drive in. Remembering to remove the speaker before leaving. All the "bad" kids parked in the back 2 rows. The "good" ones got the next 3-5 rows and the families got up front.

Never saw the silver spoon thing. Probably a good thing since I know Mom would have killed me.

Girls using masking tape to put their boy friend's initials on their stomach while tanning. Boys using lemon to get the surfer boy bleached look -- even in New Jersey (Springsteen sported that look and I still wonder how he got that curly hair straight!).

Mel's Drive-In with the carphops on roller skates. I was actually one of those!

PE uniforms -- ours was this icky one-piece blue thing that looked like shorts with a short-sleeved top and belt. PE exercises outside, in front of the boys ("We must, we must, we must improve our bust.")

The velour and crushed velvet furniture our moms were sooo proud of. Shag carpeting. Harvest yellow and avocado green kitchens.
