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!

Today they would make that a haz mat situation.

Ahh, for the good old days. We used to follow the trucks that would drive down the street and spray the trees with DDT to kill the mosquitoes, back in the 60's. I think most of us turned out ok?

We have babies who were raised by babies raising babies now. Parenting is a lost skill - teachers see it every day.

Agree! In the late ‘40s-mid ‘50s, we boys wore old cut-off jeans, with no shirts or shoes in the Summers. Played baseball, rode our bikes for several miles on tar-topped roads to a lake where we would fish and swim (no adult supervision) and got into all kinds of mischief. ...The soles of my feet were like tanned leather.
