When I was a kid.

When I was a kid, things were good, things were bad, things were? When I was a kid things were cheaper gas was 25 cents a gal., stamps were 2 penny's for a letter, a phone call or a cup of coffee was 10 cents, a carton of smokes were $2.50, a new VW bug was $1200.00 and you could buy a house for about $5000.00 My parents had one credit card from Sears&Roebuck's. The only other things they had on credit was the car and the house. On Sundays the family went to church, the rest of the day we spent with family and friends cuz nothing else was open "blue laws" When I was a kid you had respect for your elders and referred to them as Mr. and Mrs. If you got in trouble at school, you got in more trouble when you got home! When I was a kid we were taught about the state and country we lived in. When I was a kid you get drafted when you were 18 but you couldn't drink or vote until you were 21. When I was a kid we started our school day with the pledge of allegiance and a prayer. When I was a kid we had a nuclear blast drill where you got under your school desk put your head between your knees and kissed your butt goodbye. These are some of the things I remember when I was a kid. Smoking Dan.
