Kids wouldn’t understand referencing a phone booth where you could physically enter, close a door, and use a pay phone into which you deposited actual coins before you could make a call. They usually included thick paper phone books where you could look up numbers you didn’t know...

Will you stop by the Bank and make a deposit for me? My 22 year old grand looked at me like I was crazy. Just give me your debit card, mimi she replied! I have since got me a debit card so she can make my deposits for those little checks that come in every now and then.

And getting under our desks to shield us from that flying glass that came from the atomic bombs. Right!!!! And the test sirens every Saturday at noon. I always figured that would be a good time for the Soviets to send the bombs.

My answer to the above would have to be the 64 Chevelle.
As a follow up, what was the first car-truck you had that didn't use the floor button for the dimmer?
I think mine was the 1982 S-10 truck.

With ring and rubber end, we gave them a quick rinse when baby dropped them, and we weren't afraid to dip them in honey to help keep baby soothed.

If you had babies in the home, they were a household staple back in the day... soft plastic/vinyl with stretchy elastics, up and down and on and off they went all day long... made a little ones bottom look poufy, and prevented wet pyjama bottoms and crib mattresses (and laps).

 

[Aunt Marg]

They were sharp, pointed, had a big safety cap on one end, and if you weren't careful when changing baby, they were sure to give you an OUCH!
