Janet, thanks, your recollections made me remember even more!
1. All the girls had ugly gym uniforms? Mine was 2-pieces, but very conservative.
3. Nearly everyone's Mom was home when kids got home from school? My Mom worked and I remember feeling different because most others didn't.
4. Nobody owned a purebred dog? My Dad would only let us have hunting dogs.
5. When a quarter was a decent allowance? I remember getting $1/week.
6. You'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny? If it's money, I'm diving for it.
10. Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box? Bags of flour had silverware.
13. When a 57 Chevy was everyone's dream car...to cruise, peel out, lay rubber or watch submarine races, and people went steady? I remember getting a boy's class ring or FFA pin to show that you were going steady.
15. Lying on your back in the grass with your friends and saying things like, “That cloud looks like a...”? Still one of my favorite things to do.
38. Telephone numbers with a word prefix...(Raymond 4-601) Ours was Melrose 4-5417. Later, it was ME4-5417. Then, 318-634-5417, until about a few months ago when my Mom died. My parents had that same phone number for almost 60 years.
46. Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, 'Do Over!'? We should change the "escape" key to the "do over" key on the PC.
