You're not old UNLESS you can remember:
- Being sent to the drugstore to test vacuum tubes for the TV.
- When Kool-Aid was the only other drink
for kids, other than milk and sodas.
- When it took five minutes for the TV to warm up.
- When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.
- When nobody owned a pure-bred dog.
- When girls neither dated nor kissed until late high school, if then.
- When your mom wore nylons that came in two pieces.
- When you got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas
pumped, without asking, for free, every time. And you got trading
stamps to boot!
- When laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels
hidden inside the box.
- When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him, or use him to
carry groceries, and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it.
- When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a
real restaurant with your parents.
- When they threatened to keep kids back a grade if they
failed--and did!
- When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared
to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home.
- When women were called, "Mrs. John Smith," instead of their own
name.
