Our shoes were leather and I remember that they all were all messed up where we tightened the skate to keep it on.
Remember using a clothes pin to attach a playing card to your bikes spokes?
Loved the sound it made.
Oh my goodness....I remember those roller skates with the clamps on the side and the key around the neck lol. And the piece of cardboard or playing card on the bike spokes lol. And the streamers and the bell (I suspect they’re still around).
I remember playing “hairdresser” once. There was this stuff called Dippety Doo I saw advertised on tv. You slapped it in your hair then put the roller in. It dried along with your hair drying and then held your curls. Well, my mother wouldn’t buy Dippety Doo, so I thought that the pot of Vaseline in the bathroom would do about the same thing.....it looked similar. Lolo what a mess! I had to go to the hairdresser twice to get the stuff completely washed out of my head lol. It would have been cheaper for my mother to buy the Dippety Doo in the first place!
