The reason I shared this with all of you is first of all it's spot on true and second it brought back memories of a happier time. I remember my Mom sending me to the store to return empty bottles and letting me keep the nickle deposit given back. My late grandmother did a lot of canning and always sent us home with absolutely delicious homemade jam, pickles, and fruits reminding us to bring the Mason jars back next trip up to see her. We kids lived on our bikes and sometimes pretended they were horses. TV time was strictly limited to after dinner and homework then Saturday morning cartoons. Childhood obesity wasn't a problem because we kids were outside in the fresh air playing ball, riding bikes, playing tag and how many outdoor games did we make up as we went along? As I recall, we were never bored!

But we didn't have the green thing.....
