I still remember that you didn't sass other kids' parents either. Because, somehow my parents found out about it before I could get home.
And we never locked our doors...how would our friends get in?
And we only had one car, Dad used it to get to work, so we had to walk everywhere, or wait for Dad to come home.
And we went to the Saturday matinee theater for a double feature and a cartoon for a dime!
We drank a lot of orange juice since we had five orange trees in our backyard, and we played in the orange groves at the end of the block (So Calif)
We would go to the other end of the block to my uncle's house and make fresh peach ice cream every Sat night during the summer. Course, we had to crank it because they hadn't put electric motors on the ice cream makers yet.
And we dressed up to go to church every Sunday morning. Coat and tie was the standard.
We would also sit around the radio in the evenings and listen to the variety and drama shows. Boy, did we have an imagination in those days. No TV screen to show us what was going on.
I'll have to keep remembering...more later, perhaps.
Me, too. I didn't see TV until I was 12, because we were stationed in Germany from 1952 through 1955. I remember the bombed-out buildings in Stuttgart, and we weren't supposed to play in them, but we did. Once we found a live "bomb" -- at least we thought that's what it was -- and the Army sent someone to take care of it.
