Ahh to be young again.

Ah, the larceny of youth!

It was so nice when they had so many candies to choose from that were right at our height, so we could grab them by ourself.
Don't know why not many other items were below those tall, too-high counters.:unsure::rolleyes:

Btw, I think most of us "get" most posts...but this forum's members sure can widen, expand upon, add humor/sarcasm and wit, and broaden the scope, breadth and depth, of any possible topic!
:ROFLMAO:

we used leftover wallpaper

Not my book... but in the late60's and 70's we covered all our books and jotters with wallpaper like this

...if you had brown paper covered books you were ''posh''... because the brown peper would have had to have been bought.. we didn't use paper bags at the time in grocery stores...
 
I'm not sure squatting dog ( that name does conjure up some unique mental images) intended this in her post, but did you partake in "juvenile larceny"? I think the statute of limitations is way, way, way over.
I stole a fountain pen and got caught. Got banned from the store. But I stole a bunch of stamps for my stamp collection. They came in these small "glassine " (?) envelopes. You could easily palm them. I stole enough for a nice collection.

Sorry Fuzz, but I'm a guy. (y) the nickname came from a great friend of mine who called me that because everytime he came to my place it seemed at least one of my many rescues was squatting in the yard. 😄
Rest in peace my man Cho, the name lives on 🙂
Oh, and yes... there was a time or to when temptation overcame common sense, and I pinched an item or two.
