When I was born:
: This was the car on showroom floors at Chevrolet dealers across America.
:
: The New York Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers to win the World Series.
: World War 2 had ended just ten years earlier. (to put ten years in perspective, 9-11 happened just ten years ago)
: When I started kindergarten (1961), there was no such thing as The Beatles, or any music like that. It was Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Elvis..
: There were no Japanese cars at all in the US. Just American cars with a few Volvo's, Volkswagens, Peugeot's, here an there.
: Black **** weren't allowed in white schools.
: There weren't any color televisions. In fact, most people didn't have a television. We didn't get one until 1963. And, it was Black & White.
: School shootings NEVER happened.
: Teachers and Principles could paddle you if you got out of line.
: If you failed at the end of the year, you had to repeat that grade over again.
: Prayer was allowed in school. Christmas was celebrated in schools. We had CHRISTMAS plays, CHRISTMAS trees in the classrooms, etc.
: School cafeterias served fish on Fridays because the Catholics didn't eat meat on Fridays.
: We ran around the neighborhood playing Army with replica looking toy machine guns, pistols and rifles. Nobody freaked out. We were just boys.
: I didn't know what a homosexual was. I never heard the word queer, fag, or lesbian until I reached junior high school.
: Any adult could walk into a hardware store and buy a fully automatic rifle, ******, etc., just as if you were buying a fishing pole.
: REPEAT! THERE WEREN'T ANY SCHOOL SHOOTINGS.
: **** weren't preoccupied with fashion statements, unlike today. We dangled worms at girls and they shrieked and ran off. I can just imagine if a *** did that today, he would be hauled down to the principle's office, the police would be called, and he would be suspended for being a BULLY!
: My *** went off to work Mon-Fri and my *** fixed breakfast for me and my *******. Then lunch, then when *** got home, dinner was ready. We sat down as a ****** and ate, talked, laughed, and didn't answer the phone if it rang while we were eating. Or, if my *** or *** did answer it, they would say we were eating dinner and please call back later.
Well, now ya know. I had a pretty good *********.
