When I Was a Kid....

Gawd! I remember so much of what so many of the previous Litsters posted.

WIWAK I was always playing some kind of sports, had a huge comic book collection and my Lionel trains and loved the Three Stooges, Batman, Superman and the Marx Brothers.

A few years later when my dad ran off so he could pretend he was some kind of international bigshit playboy player, I had to pack my boyhood away, grow up and help my mom take care of my younger sisters and the household.
 
WIWAK we used to have small cardboard cut out type dolls. Their outfits made of coloured paper with tabs to fold over the cut out lol
 
WIWAK I was playing guns in the backyard with my friend (with whom I am still friends) on Friday November 22 1963. We had the day off because it was our monsignor's birthday and it was tradition in our school. I will never forget the look of shock and horror on every adult's face.

I don't care what you think about the President or any President, it's an unbelievably emotional thing for a country to go through the death and murder of its leader. I wouldn't want to go through this again.

The shock wave of that event was global :(

I would comment on this and point fingers, but don't feel this is the place.
 
When I Was a Kid, apparently I was overdramatic...or at least that is what I was told over Thanksgiving dinner...:cool:
 
When I was a kid my dad used to take me Christmas shopping for my mom, then we would go out for dinner, only time my dad took me someplace without my brothers.
 
WIWAK
I used to fall asleep every night listening to a transistor radio.
 
When I was a kid pay phones were everywhere and costed a grand total of 25 cents.
 
When I was a kid fun consisted of a couple friends, a trampoline and a sprinkler.
 
WIWAK I never searched the house for Christmas presents...They were all under the Christmas tree...Or behind it...I did beg to open one on Christmas Eve though...

Our gifts from "Santa" didn't come out until Christmas...:)

See, we had the spirit of Santa, but I never believed a fat jolly white guy in a red suit was really breaking into our house to deliver presents...My parents, stepparents, grandparents, aunts & uncles provided my gifts...None of my gifts were even labeled from Santa...

WIWAK my mother killed my imaginary friend...

WIWAK you could make a prank phone call and no one had caller ID...

LOL...at the time, well hey I think that is why I'm so dark & twisted now...but we used to tease each other about it...She talked about choking Maria, I'd described how purple her face got...good times...I think Maria was imaginary...I'm pretty sure she was...
 
WIWAK HIV/AIDS was not on the radar. Never had to worry about who you've been with has been with. Sex was not a life threatening activity. (as far as deseases go)
 
WIWAK I had an imaginary friend. He was responsible for all sorts of things. I even knew what he looked like. I still find myself talking to him on occasion, even though he's long since been gone.
 
WIWAK Christmas seemed so much more magical... And meaningful. Now it just seems so very commercial and full of unnecessary stressors.
