When I Was a Kid....

WIWAK the most common feedback I got from my mother whenever I played my music was "TURN THAT SHIT DOWN!"
 
When I was a kid it simply wasn't bath time without the Fisher Price houseboat.

WIWAK I had the barn and the school house. My mom still has some of the people.
 
love this thread

WIWAK I drew on my TV screen while watching "Winky Dink", Captain Kangaroo was a seaman first class and The Lone Ranger came on every Saturday at Noon. God, I miss those days!!
 
WIWAK the woman's underwear section of the JCPenney Catalog woman's served me well on a many lonely nights. I'm affraid those days are long gone with the dawn of the internet.
 
Thank you for keeping this thread hopping, everyone!

WIWAK, I had a Noah's Ark set that my mom got for me with a fill up at either the Esso Station or the Arco Station (I can't remember now!)

I had a complete set of Dolls of the World from the Arco Station, too. My brother shot them to pieces with a B.B. gun when I was about 10. (Douchebag that he was)

WIWAK the joke I said would have been on Johnny Carson and it would have gone like this:

Johnny: WIWAK we were so poor....
Audience: HOW POOR WERE YOU???
Johnny: We were so poor that my mother cut the pockets out of my pants so I'd have something to play with.

WIWAK the best TV nights of the week were Tuesday (Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Three's Company - though I wasn't allowed to watch Three's Company until I was much older) and Saturday (Love Boat and Fantasy Island)!

My boys, 21 and 24, used to get the Victoria's Secret catalog in the mail when they were teenagers.

It was too much fun to watch them squirm when I handed it to them when they came home. :D
 
On one hand I remember 10 cent candy bars. On the other, I remember segregated schools.

Nope. Didn't have the farmhouse or the Sesame Street house. I had the A-Frame and my little sister got the Weeble Tree House.

WIWAK I didn't understand how good I had it. But, I do now. I think that's a good thing.
