#14 Sounds like MY childhood!
We had a ball!! Just as you say ... I agree with all you wrote. I'd gladly give up a cell phone, text messaging, PC's and color TV for my daughter to have my wonderful childhood. Also Mom stayed HOME. They weren't off fighting wars. That was for the men. People actually went to church on Sunday - the whole family!
Nah, I wouldn't trade MY childhood for todays view of childhood.
Those were great years. I wouldn't trade it either.
