I'm so old that I remember:
It took five minutes for the TV warm up
Nearly everyone's Mom was at home when the kids got home from school
Nobody owned a purebred dog
When a quarter was a decent allowance
You'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny
Your Mom wore nylons that came in two pieces
All your male teachers wore neckties and female teachers had
their hair done every day and wore high heels
You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped,
without asking, all for free, every time
And you didn't pay for air And, you got trading stamps to boot
Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box
It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner
at a real restaurant with your parents
They threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed. and they did
When a 57 Chevy was everyone's dream car...to cruise,
peel out, lay rubber or watch submarine races, and people went steady
No one ever asked where the car keys were
because they were always in the car,
in the ignition, and the doors were never locked
and playing baseball with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game
Stuff from the store came without safety caps and hermetic seals
because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger
When being sent to the principal's office was nothing
compared to the fate that awaited the student at home
Basically we were in fear for our lives,
but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc.
Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat!
But we survived because their love was greater than the threat.
Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, Laurel and Hardy,
Howdy Dowdy and the Peanut Gallery,
the Lone Ranger, The Shadow Knows,
Nellie Bell, Roy and Dale, Trigger and Buttermilk
Candy cigarettes
Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water inside
Soda pop machines that dispensed glass bottles
Coffee shops with tableside jukeboxes
Blackjack, Clove and Teaberry chewing gum
Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers
Newsreels before the movie
P.F. Fliers
Telephone numbers with a word prefix...( Hillcrest 4-601).
Party lines
Peashooters
Howdy Doody
45 RPM records
Green Stamps
Hi-Fi's
Metal ice cubes trays with levers
Mimeograph paper
Beanie and Cecil
Roller-skate keys
Cork pop guns
Drive ins
Studebakers
Washtub wringers
The Fuller Brush Man
Reel-To-Reel tape recorders
Tinkertoys
Erector Sets
The Fort Apache Play Set
Lincoln Logs
15 cent McDonald hamburgers
5 cent packs of baseball cards -
with that awful pink slab of bubble gum
Penny candy
35 cent a gallon gasoline
Jiffy Pop popcorn
Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-moe"
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "Do Over!"
"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest
The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was "cooties"
Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a slingshot
Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute commercials for action figures
"Oly-oly-oxen-free" made perfect sense
Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle
Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin
Water balloons were the ultimate weapon
Terrorism was a panty raid at the nurse's sorority |

Depends whether we're speaking Korean years or not.
I have a problem with people thinking I'm about eight years younger than I really am. I'm tired of being asked what grade I'm in at school.  |
