Then you have LIVED
You hace lived if you can remember these...
When you got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped without asking, for free, every time... and, you didn't pay for air.
When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.
When it took five minutes for the TV to warm up, if you even had one.
When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents.
When girls neither dated nor kissed until late high school, if then.
When they threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed...and did!
War was a card game.
Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle.
Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a slingshot.
Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin.
If you can remember most or all of these,
then you have LIVED!!!
