When i was 4, my mom would send me down our block with a quarter and a note: “Please send blu home with a pack of Salems. Thank you, Mrs. Blu’s Mom”. And they would do it. This was pre 1960. Those were the days, my friends!
Same here except I was 5, didn’t have a note, the store was 1/2 mile away and mom smoked Winstons! LOL
