The hula hoop came out when I was in grade school. I showed my mom and dad a picture of one. Dad looked at a picture,immediately went to the garage, and came back with a heavy water hose that he had stapled into circle
Try to hula hoop on that! ๐ ๐ ๐
Gotta give your dad an A for effort.
We took our hula hoops to school, at recess the grounds were covered with kids doing their thing.
We rode the bus to school and I can’t remember whether we were allowed to bring them on the bus.
I know I practiced at home too.
Maybe I was fortunate to have 2, can’t remember.
Reminds me of the (early) skate board craze.
Everyone on the block wanted one.
A kid down the streetโs dad took a 2x4, cut it down, rounded the corners, and added roller skate wheels, to the underside.
We all couldnโt wait to take a turn trying it out ๐
