1950's Hell....We picked worms....Got a penny a piece at the bait shop. Picking 300 worms in a night was easy....and we never left our yard.

In the winter, we made potholders and sold them around the neighborhood. We discovered that people coordinated colors back then, too and switched to taking orders by color and design.

Me and my bro....we were good!! Always had money to go to the Goodie-Shoppe and money for caps. My poor younger sister, with her long black hair was always the indian maiden. I can't tell you how many times we tied her up!! We bought her an Annie Oakley outfit one year to make amends.

Do you remember learning to make the caps go off with your finger nail. Black Nail...very cool!! Sign of "guts".

Works better with some brands than others. And probably has something to do with why some stores won't carry 'em.
