Remember When...

[Wenchy]

THOSE were the days! I feel so sorry for kids nowadays not being able to feel the wind whip through their hair as they coast down hills on their bikes.

No kidding.

Little man wants a bike for his birthday. I'm honestly scared to get him one.

I don't know if this has been posted, but remember when Michael Jackson was black?

How about when he was a cartoon character.

A HOT summers day fun was tying your hose to a tree limb so you could frolic under it, or the only swimming pool was a wash tub and all the neighborhood kids would take turns getting in. The tub was also used to wash the family dog. Towels weren't needed because Mom would simply make you stay outside until you were dry.

Nuns taught Catholic school
Radio was free
Jr. Bailey was our Milkman (7th district)
You could swim in the Potomac
You could walk the shore & catch soft crabs
The bay was clean & full of huge rock & blues
Dad had a "Corvair" with the "pancake" engine

Oh yes! Gross. they still have twist off things that are kind of the same, but I would not buy them for my kids. They are now touted as a "beverage". Help me out...are they Mondo, and really cheap?

How about the "Pixi-Sticks" and "cigarettes" in the days gone by?

Jolly Rancher. Now, that was a good .05 cents well spent.
