Do you remember when?

The only one of these that is an unpleasant memory is the "jumping on the bed" one. No child I have every babsat or lived with has been allowed to do this. Am I a big old meanie? No.

My brother (Lady's Human here on Pet Talk) was jumping up and down on his bed one night when he was about 4, and bit his tongue nearly off about 1/2 inch from the end. It was hanging on by a 1/4-inch piece. Blood? Blood everywhere! He barely remembers it, if at all, but I was 9, and I remember quite clearly, and could even tell you what pajamas he was wearing, and that his bed was on the right side of the room my brothers shared.

Those were the days. my friend..la la la la la.....

We rarely locked our house doors. Now, I triple check the house, the car, is my club on the steering wheel? Jesh.
I truly miss the milkman making his deliveries. In the winter, the top of the milk would freeze. I remember hucksters coming down the street-you could buy a bushel of tomatoes for around $1!!!!
Girl Scout cookies were 45 cents and when someone bought 2, I got to keep the dime change, which meant 2 huge candy bars!!!

My moth-her punched your moth-her in the NOSE... what col-lor was the blood. R-E-D spells Red and you are not the one to be it.

If you worked out the cadence and sylables well enough you could always make it land on whoever you wanted. It took me many years to figure out that trick and realize that "my brothers" had been taking advantage of me and "making me the final it" forever.

I was like, "What??? This can't be!!! What are the odds that I am "IT" 472,345 times in a row"???????

HUCKSTERS??? That is great!!! I haven't heard that term since we were kids and waited on the street for "Mickey the Huckster" to come around in his overloaded stationwagon - filled with all kinds of consumables. We liked his doughnuts best!!! Thanks for the memories.
