Mmmm, colored popcorn balls. *drools*
In later years as a teen, that's the only reason I looked forward to Halloween.
Mom's friend made the best.
We were welding chopper bicycle frames when we were pre-teens.
You won't catch kids doing that now.
If we had a baseball game across town, and no ride, we walked! *gasp*
We didn't have a color tv 'til I was 14. (mid-80's)
Was given a Pong system when friends down the street upgraded to Atari.
(that Pong gun was frikken HUGE!)
If we had problems with a kid at school or in the neighborhood, we didn't knife 'em or pull a gat, we picked a time after school or on the weekend and beat the everlovin' shit out of each other 'til we were friends.
We didn't off our school mates if we were teased or picked on. We dealt with it.
Our teachers hugged us, too.
Principals knew our names without us being in trouble.
