And you didn’t pay for air? And, you got trading stamps to boot? # Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box? # It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents? # They threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed. And they did it! # When a 57 Chevy was everyone’s dream car…to cruise, peel out, lay rubber or watch submarine races, and people went steady? # No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the car, in the ignition, and the doors were never locked? # Lying on your back in the grass with your friends? …. and saying things like, ‘That cloud looks like a… ‘? # Playing baseball with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game?
