We rode in the back of pick up trucks
We drank water from a spring not out of plastic bottles
We had 1 car and glad of it, when we got a 2nd car we were sure we had made it to the big time
We went on dates not flash mobs
We walked or took a bus to school not lobbying for a parking spot
Mom stayed home to take care of us
Not going to Sunday School was NOT an option
We stepped out of line and WHAM we got the belt
We cut the brass tips off our woven belts because they left a mark
We played outside with sticks and old tennis balls
My brothers and I were the "remote control" for 4 channels and 2 on UHF
Wonderfull World of Disney was the only show in color
Our dogs kissed us on the face
We waited 1/2 hour to swim after eating
New clothes were special, hand me downs the norm
We earned our 25 cent allowance by cutting grass, doing dishes, cleaning our rooms
Movies were a quarter, popcorn 15 cents. We used our allowance.....
We were in bed by 9 and up at 6, homework checked, teeth brushed and jammies on
and the list goes on.......................
