When I Was a Kid....

When I was a Kid, my dad talked tough but it was my mom that brought the hammer...:eek:
 
When I was a kid...you could stay outside in the summer all night....well at least until the streetlights came on before mom's would start calling us in
 
WIWAK, it was impossible to fall asleep on Christmas Eve because of the anticipation!

When I got married and had kids, it was impossible to fall asleep because I had to wait for the kids to fall asleep so I could get the presents beneath the tree.

Now that my kids are teenagers, I find it impossible to fall asleep because they want me to keep up the whole illiusion...so I am on my second bottle of Asti Spumante, waiting for them to go to sleep so I can finish putting gifts under the tree and fill the stockings!!

(Merry Christmas, Everyone!!!)

Merry Christmas to you too!

We are watching a Wonderful Life (I have never seen it) and stuffing stockings! I am sure to be on the naughty list again before bed! :devil:
 
WIWAK

A mouse was just a rodent

Threads were smaller units of fabric

Posts were placed in the ground to hold up things like fences

Cells were simply small units of living matter

Texts was a reference to physical books

PM was just the designation for time after noon.

 
WIWAK today was the saddest day of the year because Christmas was a year away...:(
 
WIWAK and my brothers weren't around I would go shoot hoops my mself and play the right handed me against the left handed me. The officials sucked and always favored the left handed me.

When I was a kid I thought we would be living in space by now...:(
 
WIWAK my cousins and I roamed all over my grandparent's farm making the old hay barn one of our favorite hideaways
 
WIWAK I spent hours upon hours trying to beat Bowser aka King Koopa
 
WIWAK we used to bang metal pans with wooden spoons at midnight on NYE.
 
WIWAK, we used to go around collecting the unspent fiecrackers on New Year's Day (July 5th also) ... :D
 
WIWAK and I didn't feel well, my mom would make toast and tea with ginger ale. I hated the taste, but it always made me feel better.

Kinda wish somebody would make some of that for me right now...:eek:
 
WIWAK Guy Lombardo's band always played on New Year's. I think it was NBC that telecast the New Years show from the Waldorf Astoria.
 
WIWAK I always wanted to spend New Year's Eve in Times Square.


Then I did one year. And feel fortunate to have survived the experience!
 
WIWAK my mother forced us to eat black eyed peas on New Year's Day for wealth and prosperity...
 
WIWAK my family (cousins and aunts and uncles etc.) would all get together and roast a whole pig.
