My mother used to shoo us out at 8, she was cleaning and cooking, the doors were locked to keep us out, and she brought lunch out to us.
We MADE things to play with, like stick horses, it didn't need a head, it was the fastest horse around, went fishing, I usually took a pile of old lumber and bricks and built something. ( Dad was in construction too, there was always some of that shit around the house )
We didn't even have a TV till I was almost 10. And I didn't see a color one till I was in the service, in 1972!
Remember when Barbara Eden in 'I Dream Of Jeannie' was the sex goddess of the airwaves? LOL
Yeah, it was a good thread to start, see what you started? LOL
