I remember sitting in my great grandfathers lap when he drove is big 1950's something car
I remember my father giving me a hundred dollar bill when I went to florida the day after graduation (in 1986) and him telling me, if I got in trouble it better not cost more than that because if it did I'd be sitting in jail for a VERY long time
I remember that the atari was for rainy days only
I remember taking baby asprin and Creamultion (sp?) cough syrup
I remember meat tenderizer for bee stings (I am kinda happy about benadryl now though considering I have to carry an epi pen with me all the time now)
I remember mercurochrome AND methylade
I remember playing "cheerleader" in the vacant lot across the street from my house when the boys would do those great tricks on their bmx bikes
I remember my driveway was the one with the streetlight and during the summer we were allowed to sit there under that light for an hour after it came on...then our parents would flash the front porch light in the "parents morse code" that meant be in your respective houses in 10 minutes or your but will be sitting in your room the next nite with NOTHING to do but stare out the window at the other kids that had gotten home in time.
I hope I never ever forget these things
on a side note...my parents have retired to another part of the state...their current house has the streelight...and for old times sake I take my daughter out and sit under it and wait for my mother to "flash the porch light"
