Do you remember?
 

 

The great drive-in culture of our era was a unique and fascinating experience, and a very special treat on a Saturday night. I remember my Mom making this huge paper bag full of popcorn to put on the backseat between my legs. I loved watching her salt it, and the grease stains from the butter along with the huge brown stains on the bottom of the sack. I always went in my pajamas. That was the best part of all. Then, when the sun sank down below the rim of the trees and the majestic rectangle of the movie screen, the action commenced.

 

There was also nothing like the snack bar. Between movies, the snack bar was Grand Central Station. And was it any wonder? They had all sorts of candy, popcorn, ice cream and soft drinks. If you needed it, they had it. If you wanted to check out the girls or boys, go to the snack bar. If you just wanted to get away from your parents- well, snack bar city.

Everything I need to know, I Learned In Kindergarten 

Most of what I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in Kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain but there in the sandbox at nursery school. These are the things I learned. Share everything. Play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies are good for you. Live a balanced life. Learn some and think some. And draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some. Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out into the world watch for traffic. Hold hands and stick together. Be aware of wonder.

Remember the little seed in the plastic cup. The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why. But we are all like that. Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup they all die . And remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK. Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The Golden Rule, Love, Basic Sanitation, Ecology, Politics and Sane Living.

Think of what a better world it would be if we all had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap or if we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always put things back where we found them and clean up our own messes. And it is still true no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world it is best to hold hands and stick together. (Robert Fulghum)

It was a well known fact that girls were smarter than boys.  It didn't matter who she was; if she was female, she was smarter.

 

Girls were well-behaved and paid attention in class. They had good penmanship and raised their hands often. Is it any wonder why guys would have nothing to do with them?

 
 

 How about the safe monkey bars at the playground?

 (of course we didn't have to worry about arsenic then did we?)

 

 

          

 

 

 



 Remember Hawaiian Punch?



 What about those school holidays?

Whether you are a Billy Joel fan or not, you probably remember his great song, 'We Didn't Start the Fire.'  Here it is, set to pictures...very, very cool.

Thanks toBilly Joel and some guy from the University of Chicago with a lot of spare time.    
The Top left gives you full screen.....top right lets you pause. Bottom left shows the year. The older you are, the more pictures you will recognize.
