When I Was Young ... (Game)

[hollydolly]

When I was young.. I worked delivering milk to doorsteps before school

 

[peramangkelder]

I rode my bike without a helmet and there were no seatbelts in our station wagon

When I was young, going swimming at the unheated indoor baths on a Saturday morning was seen as the ultimate thing to look forward to ...

 

[JustBonee]

I lived on a farm with many, many animals.

 

[Sparky]

Politicians were painful to watch, and still are.

 

[tinytn]

We would spin each other on our tire swing, then get off trying to walk a straight line..

When I was young we got wet under the fireplug !

Getting the mail that had just been delivered was exciting and special, often with letters and postcards from real people.

There was smoking in schools in the Main Office, and Staffrooms

 

[peramangkelder]

Yes @mike4lorie I remember doctors and nurses smoking too

 

[JustBonee]

I was a drum majorette with the marching band

When I was young....I could lay for hours outside on a blanket, looking up at the sky and watch the clouds moving, making formations and guess what they looked like.

 

[Citygirl]

I laid for hours in the sun to get a tan & now you can go to a spa & get it in much less time, but now they say it is no good for you so I have never been in one.

 

[Repondering]

I went to a British school in a UK colony with kids of 16 nationalities that I can think of now.....there were probably more.
I loved it there.

 

[mike4lorie]

I loved the trade classes in school, those ones I never missed...

 

[JustBonee]

I loved the high school life, and all the activities and friends.

 

[peramangkelder]

I liked school until my parents divorced when I was 12 and about to start highschool
My mother my sister and I moved around so much I found it hard to relate to new teachers and students

 

[mike4lorie]

Kraft Dinner was 10 cents a box....

 

[Sassycakes]

I loved when I would hear the sound of this truck driving through the neighborhood with the Whip ride on it. Me and my friends would get on and have a great time.

 

[mike4lorie]

Used to have chores I had to do every Saturday morning...

 

[JustBonee]

... life was simple.

 

[mike4lorie]

Things seemed very expensive, but looking back, a lot cheaper than today...

 

[peramangkelder]

A refrigerator cost nearly as much as a used car

 

[hollydolly]

When I was young (12-14)... I delivered milk, door to door from 4am to 7am...

When I was young I played spy with my best friend in a local medical building. We'd go up and down stairs and play tricks with the elevators so one of us could trap the other, shoot her, and win the game. (Blame it on the Man from UNCLE)
