Kids of the 1960's
Your clothes came from Kmart and they stayed on layaway until school started. Eating out at a restaurant was a thing every now & then!! Fast food was leftovers at home. Eating popsicles was a treat on a hot day. We had fake cigs for candy and you only needed 50 cents or less. School was mandatory. You took your school clothes off as soon as you got home and put on your play clothes. If no one was home after school, you went to the neighbors. Nobody paid for daycare because we had a key to the house to get in when we got home.

We ate dinner at the table. Our house phone wasn't always being used. We played Cops and Robbers, 1-2-3 Not It, Red Light Green Light, Hide & Seek, Truth or Dare, Tag, Kickball, Dodgeball & we rode bikes. Girls and Boys played in the street. We came home when the street lights came on.

Staying in the house was a punishment and the only thing we knew about being "bored," "You better find something to do before I find it for you!" We ate what Mom made for dinner or we ate nothing at all. There was no bottled water; we drank from the tap or the water hose!

"Quit your sniveling before I give you something to cry about!"

Phone numbers and addresses were either memorized or written on a folded piece of paper which was kept with you at all times!

What were Cell phones? We watched cartoons on Saturday mornings and rode our bikes for hours. We ran around in the streets until dark and came in before the streetlights came on.

We were AFRAID OF NOTHING, unlike the spoiled brats of today.

We watched our mouths around our Elders. If we acted up we got beat with a wooden paddle, switch or belt or worse, like getting your mouth washed out with lava hand soap for cussing!
These were the good old days.

Kids today will never know how it feels to be a real kid, they will never understand my childhood!

NO SMART CRACKS FROM ANYONE!!!!!

How Old is granddad?

Stay with this -- the answer is at the end. It will blow you away.

One evening a grandson was talking to his granddad about current events.

The grandson asked his granddad what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general.

The Granddad replied, "Well, let me think a minute, I was born before:

' television

' penicillin

' polio shots

frozen foods

' Xerox

contact lenses

Frisbees and

' the pill

There were no:

' credit cards

laser beams or

ball-point pens

Man had not yet invented:

pantyhose

air conditioners

dishwashers

clothes dryers

and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and

' man hadn't yet walked on the moon

Your Grandmother and I got married first, and then lived together. Every family had a father and a mother.

Until I was 25, I called every man older than me, "Sir."

And after I turned 25, I still called policemen and every man with a title, "Sir."

We were before gay-rights, computer-dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy.

Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense.

We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions.

Serving your country was a privilege; living in this country was a bigger privilege.

We thought fast food was what people ate during Lent.

Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins.

Draft dodgers were those who closed front doors as the evening breeze started.

Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends-not purchasing condominiums.

We never heard of FM radios, tape decks , CD's, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings.

We listened to Big Bands, Jack Benny, and the President's speeches on our radios.

And I don't ever remember any kid blowing his brains out listening to Tommy Dorsey.

If you saw anything with 'Made in Japan ' on it, it was junk.

The term 'making out' referred to how you did on your school exam.

Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of.

We had 5 &10-cent stores where you could actually buy things for 5 and 10 cents.

Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi were all a nickel.

And if you didn't want to splurge, you could spend your nickel on enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards.

You could buy a new Ford Coupe for $600, but who could afford one?

Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon.

In my day:

"grass" was mowed,

“gay” was happy

' "coke" was a cold drink,

"pot" was something your mother cooked in and

"rock music" was your grandmother's lullaby.

' "Aids" were helpers in the Principal's office,

' "chip" meant a piece of wood,

' "hardware" was found in a hardware store and.

"software" wasn't even a word.

And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby.

No wonder people call us "old and confused" and say there is a generation gap.

How old do you think I am?

Are you ready?????

He would be 65 years old , Born in 1952 .

GIVES YOU SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

PASS THIS ON TO THE OLD ONES.

THE YOUNG ONES WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

(IMHO: YET,...MOST OF THIS IS PRETTY DAMNED ACCURATE!!)
