Just a few memories from the good ole days!
1. Remember when you got things in the mail. The real mail, birthday cards, packages with presents on holidays. You would save up labels from cereal boxes to get toys in the mail. You had at least one friend who had a pen pal from a really cool place.
2. Polaroid cameras were so cool when they came out. You could have a picture immediately!
3. When you wanted to talk to a friend you either called them on the phone or you walked/biked to their house. When you were at their house you interacted with their entire family and you did whatever their parents said.
4. Speaking of phones, they were attached to the wall and you had to dial the number, push button phones were amazing when they came out. If you lived way out in the country you had party lines, so you had to make sure none of your neighbors were on the phone before you could use it.
5. You had a record player and if you listened really, really carefully you could hear the secret messages when you played the record backwards!
Can't wait to hear what you remember/miss from the good ole days!
When you didnt have to work!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletewhen you didnt have real responsibility!
those are my two!
We weren't allowed to talk on the phone when I was a kid. Mainly because we got to see everybody that was important nearly every day. And it's unheard of nowadays for a kid to ride a bike as far from home as we did at the ages we did it.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny you mentioned record players. My daughter just told me this weekend that she wants to start looking for one and start a vinyl collection. She thinks LPs are just the coolest things.
