That's all true, cause I can testify. Add this to the list. We didn't stalk our folks for money, most of us learned how to make a buck as soon as we hit the streets and learned the value of work, money, commitment, and reward.
My Dad made all the kids in the neighborhood wooden guns that shot rubberbands. We had natural suntans from playing outside. We sold lemonade from a stand for a nickel. Then we used the money to put on plays in somebody's back yard for all the parents. We got spankings with a belt or a paddle and our parents weren't worried about getting in trouble for teaching us right from wrong. We didn't know what TIME OUT was.

I remember it well. I guess I can be really thankful that I survived to wake up every day, so far.anyway. I wonder if anyone has ever done any research into the differences of accidents and breaks and falls in those days as opposed to today and adjusted it according to the increases in population etc.? I also remember chasing the ice cream truck.no one was rude or got hurt; following the bug truck down the street on our bikes, in and out of the fog of DDT and whatever other chemicals were being used and air raid drills where we would be taken down into the basement of the school and would duck under all of the extra desks stored there. Not very many years later, while I was in high school, that same basement had to be closed up and cleaned out by the asbestos abatement people. Were we really safer in the basement or not.. I sometimes think that we are turning future generations into wimps. Our lives were so much fun and there were not very many obese kids, we were always outside playing, not inside starring at the TV or video games or the computer. I am always joking with a lot of my younger friends that I can outwork, outplay, outdance and outdo a lot of them; just because that is the way I was brought upand they agree with me. I am glad that I was brought up the way I was, I feel very blessed. Have a great night!
