I Remember

I Remember When:

• Girls were not allowed to wear pants to school
• Cashiers in grocery stores entered the price of each item in your cart manually into the cash register and counted out your change.
• Cars did not have seat belts.
• There were no such things as car seats for infants and toddlers.
• Babies were laid across the mothers laps while the mother was driving said car without wearing a seat belt. 
• When schools actually had lockers for books to be kept in
• If you misbehaved in school, you got a "whack" with a paddle the size of Alaska
• You didn't misbehave in school a second time
• Spring Break was called Easter Break
• The only radio stations were AM
• Which you listened to on your Transistor Radio
• Your class all stood and repeated The Pledge of Allegiance and the Lord's Prayer each morning.
• Playing outside until Mom would yell your names throughout the neighborhood.
• Playing "Kick the Kan" in the street with all the neighborhood kids.
• Black and White TV
• An ashtray in a new car was not considered an option.
• The A/C in our house was a "swamp cooler". Which consists of a box, fan, vents and the garden hose dripping cold water into the back of it. (yes it was purchased that way)
• Cloth Diapers 
•  Okay, I didn't say everything I remembered was okay!
