Default Re: Walk Down Memory Lane with us 55+'ers...

Cub Scouts and Brownies (and later Boy and Girl Scouts) wearing their uniforms at school. (do they still HAVE uniforms?)
Cub Scouts being given a pocket knife, and proudly wearing it attached to their belt AT SCHOOL.

Going outdoors in the morning in the summer time, and just having to "be home before the street lights come on." Whoever's house you were at around lunchtime is who's Mom would give you lunch.

Walking or riding bikes "downtown" with your friends -- at 8 or 9 years old.

Thinking Police Officers were the living embodiment of God himself.

Building a crystal radio set

If you "mouthed off" to an adult, that adult would smack you upside the head, and then call your mother and send you home to "get a real spanking."

Going to the Barber Shop (not a stylist) for a trim or even a Crew Cut.

Not being eligible for the School Bus unless you lived more than 1.5 miles from the school.

Never addressing an adult without "Mr.", "Mrs." or "Miss" attached to their name, and always saying "please" and "thank you".
