Do you remember...your childhood and how it was in pictures

[Pappy]

So fortunate we all were to have survived the lax days far behind us... riding in cars with baby car seats like these... no seat belts... riding in the boxes of pickup trucks... riding the back window sill ledge... riding in the backs of station wagons.

We're survivors.

My kids had those. Me, they piled in the back seat and told me to hang on…

 

[Aunt Marg]

Yep, had them bad along with mumps, measles and whooping cough. Boy we were tough back then.

ROFLMAO!

Never did get the mumps, measles, or whooping cough, mind you by the 60's, a measles vaccine had been developed.

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

I had the measles. chicken pox and mumps back in the 50s.
I didn't feel well for one or two days but after that I thoroughly enjoyed being home and not having to go to school.
I was to dumb to realize I'd have to make up all the work I missed but it was good while it lasted.

Only reading between the lines, Ruth, but my guess is you liked school as much as I did.

1943. OMG that kid has got a gun. What’s wrong with his parents? (Sarcasm)

My dad took all of us kids out shooting, too, when we were younger.

Rule in our house was, unless permission was given to remove a gun from the cabinet, it was hands off.
