When I Was a Kid....

WIWAK on Sunday mornings we would sit at the table listening to radio stories for kids while eating brekky. Bad Jelly the Witch was a favourite

WIWAK I listened to the Oriole games on my AM transistor radio with ear piece......I was supposed to be sleeping.

WIWAK my home town didn't have a major league club and I didn't understand the concept of the minor leagues owning my players and hated the Cincinnati Reds for stealing Johnny Bench.

Therefore, I picked the team to root for based on the best guy playing who shared my birthday.

Happy Birthday, Bob Gibson! #45 HOF.

WIWAK my job was to do work around the house prior to completing homework which means I have dug 4 basements utilizing a shovel and pick axe. (P.S. I was so stupid I didn't think it was work because I loved playing in the dirt. Go figure now I work as a civil engineer)

I have some of those glasses (still)! I have a Charlie Brown glass and a Muppet glass.

I have Flyers glasses that had Penn Maid sour cream in them.

I have a whole set of Winnie-the-Pooh glasses that had Welch's jelly in them. My kids use them all the time.

I just bought some Kraft cheese spreads in the tiny little glasses...guess where they're going to end up? lol!

Yes, apparently I live in a trailer park.

When I was a kid we would occasionally have fast food as a treat.... The choices were McDonalds, Burger King or Burger Chef. I loved making my burger just the way I wanted it.

WIWAK McDonald's had happy meal toys like egg mcmuffins that turned into robots...

WIWAK we roamed and played everywhere in our neighborhood and the greenbelt along the river, anyplace our feet or bikes could take us. Just had to boogie my ass home when the streetlights came on.

Sadly, this will never be something my kids experience.

WIWAK you had to carefully sneak your friend's dad's playboys out, with one kid keeping a lookout, in order to see anything resembling a naked woman. Now, not only can you find hard core explicit sex on the internet, but you can look at nearly naked women in most magazines.

I'm glad we've progressed.

I really had to LOL because my dad didn't have Playboy ( dammit!) My dad is a dentist and when he had his practice he would order National Geographic as one of the literary reads in his office. I would look forward to hoping and praying that I would see African tribe women walking around their villages naked. I cannot believe I just admitted that but I guess I just did!

WIWAK I didn't have Playboy, Penthouse, or National Geographic...I would take the JCPenney or Sears Catalog and flip through the lingerie section...

Wiwak...

 

[WolfsButterfly]

WIWAK we had a rotary dial phone that was so loud there was no way you could sneak and be on the phone >.<

 

[Twlightdreamer]

WIWAK we still had a party line with 2 other neighbors.

When I was kid I didn't understand the value of the nap

WIWAK we put our Christmas tree up the weekend after Thanksgiving. I will be doing it with my kids tomorrow!!

 

[BradBigBrain]

WIWAK we cleared the Thanksgiving table and played poker.
