"White is the coolest, hear?" That's racist! The parent in this instance needs more parenting skills.

They feel guilty for leaving their kids in someone else’s care. So they put all the blame on the care providers.

[Mom MD]

owwwwww. And stayed orange red on your skin for days. How I hated that stuff

[tomkat]

I’m guessing they’d frown on lawn darts too.

Snowflakes

I thank God that I spent my childhood in the 1950’s

AMEN !

[bgill]

She was. Very intelligent. She was my most loyal and best friend. Eyes are tearing up after all these years.

A local (Norfolk/Virginia Beach VA) TV news ran a story this summer warning people about the hot sand on the beach.

I say remove all warning labels and let nature weed out the morons.

“Did you read the article? The mother worked there and the
child was taken out by another worker.”

Seems to be a trend on FR lately: Rail on others for being stupid or ignorant without bothering to gather the most basic facts. It’s not like this information required clicking a link and reading further at the source website. It’s posted right in the excerpt. And multiple people are chiming in with such remarks. I guess we’ve probably all been guilty of this at some point, but it’s embarrassing. FR can do better.

I have a 18 year old Doxie who is like that.
I am always referring to her as the Grand Duchess of WienerDogland, which she is. Of all our dachshunds she has ben the most dachshundly. Sometimes aloof, does things on her terms. Friendly, playful & affectionate but only when she chooses to be otherwise she stands off and decides if you’re worth getting to know. Some people she just ignores and for whatever doggie reason continues to. And like yours incredible about going to the potty. I used to tell my daughter’s dates that this dogs was easier to potty train then my daughter was. Utterly fearless chased off foxes that ventured into the yard. Now frail, almost blind she is still Boss dog. She will be missed when her time comes.

We would do the same while repeating: Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Once on the other side, we would cool our feet in the grass.

In the 50s, all the playground eq was trying to kill us.

[hadaclueonce]

Now days kids don’t eat enough dirt.

[CJ Wolf]

The white lines. I remember that. Whos bare feet were you wearing, btw?:)

[KittyKares]

That was funny. Thanks.

3. or my favorite: Stop crying you’re fine! That won’t be your last blister!

Or how about, "I'll give you something to cry about!"

[Reily]

My father’s favorite!

[Albion Wilde]

I remember the steel slides in summer as a kid. Scorching hot, but we learned that the hard way too.

I know, right? Too hot to sit on wax paper to speed your slide -- it would melt the wax right off onto your shorts and make your mom mad!

[Albion Wilde]

we hit the asphalt then hopped and danced our way across the street as it was so hot.

Even the white sand beaches on the New Jersey to Florida beaches got too hot to walk on barefoot! I remember when the first rubber flip-flops first came on the market in the 50s, for just this reason! So much better than leather sandals on the beach.

[Albion Wilde]

And we loved it when Mom dropped the glass thermometer and broke it, and then we got to roll the mercury around in our hands!
