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
• Seat belts in cars were an option
• You did not have to wear said seat belt
• Babies were laid across the mothers laps while the mother was driving said car without wearing a seat-belt.

Okay, I didn't say everything I remembered was okay!

• 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.
• If a girl was going out on a date, he had to meet her father first.
• Black and White TV
• An ashtray in a new car was not considered an option.
• Playing Monopoly as a family after dinner.
• 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 
• When disposable diapers were being tested
• When TV Dinners tasted good!
• Friday and Saturday nights were "date night"

Okay, what do you remember?
