A Cozy Bit of Nostalgia

money funnies

Remember when…

All of the girls had ugly gym uniforms?

It took five minutes for the TV to warm up?

Nobody owned a purebred dog?

When a quarter was a decent allowance?


You’d reach into a muddy gutter for a penny?

Your Mom wore nylons that came in two pieces?

All of your male teachers wore neckties and female teachers had their hair done every day and wore high  heels?

You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped, without asking, all for free, every time?  You didn’t pay for air? And, you got  trading stamps to boot?

It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents?

They threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed. And they did it!

When there was a dress code at school? And if the girls skirts were too short they had to go home and change?

When a ’57 Chevy was everyone’s dream car…to cruise,  peel out, lay rubber or watch submarine races, and people went steady?

No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the car, in the ignition, and the doors were never locked?

When a gentleman opened a door for a lady, and she smiled at him or said ‘thank you’?

Lying on your back in the grass with your friends?
Saying things like, ‘That cloud looks like a…   ‘?

Playing  baseball with no adults to ‘help’ kids with the  rules of the game?

Stuff from the store came without safety caps and hermetic seals because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger?

With all our progress, don’t you just wish, just once, you could slip back in time and savor the slower pace, and share it with the children of today?

When being sent to the principal’s office was nothing  compared to the fate that awaited the student at home?

Basically we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn’t because of  drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much  bigger threat! But we survived because their love was greater than the threat.

Remember summers filled with bike rides, baseball games, Hula Hoops, bowling and visits  to the pool, and eating Kool-Aid powder with  sugar?
 
Didn’t that feel good, just to go back and say, ‘Yeah, I remember that’?

Share this with someone who can still  remember Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, Laurel and Hardy, Howdy   Doody, Shirley Temple, the Lone Ranger, The Shadow Knows, Rin Tin Tin, Roy and Dale, Trigger and Buttermilk.
