Well I think T.V had something to do with it....I just know we were never allowed to sit in front of the T.V all day it was outside my brothers had to push that push cart lawn mower that you had to empty the bag and somehow I always got stuck de-frosting the frig what a job that was.

That's it exactly- lying around in front of the tube was frowned upon. There were chores to be done, but defrosting the refrigerator was a treat! It was full of ice and snow that could be creatively misused, and you were actually expected to break stuff! (the ice)

I have to really wonder what the current crop of kids will reminisce about when they are our ages, and what behavior in their kids will worry them?

Hahaha You are so right! breaking those huge peices of the ice in the sink. I hated the part of having all that stupid newspaper on the floor while water was dripping all over it.!
