In my first grade class, we had to stand and give our phone number. At the time mine was HU2-0377 or you could say it as Hudson2-0377.

Yep. The days before area codes were required.

Our exchange was Dickens (DI) -- Dickens3 6614.

I haven't had that number in 46 years, but it's right up front in the memory bank. Now if I could only remember what I had for breakfast today.

Awesome! I had both the gun and the bomb! The best was pounding an entire roll of caps with a rock or hammer. That made one heck of a boom!

The funny thing is that the rolls of paper caps as they were back then would probably not be allowed as toy today... Yet we all survived just fine.

I used to shoot mine in the driveway. It created a nice echo effect, much to the dismay of the poor neighbor across the street.

I learned the hard way never ever set it off inside the house. I remember dad's belt was formally introduced to my a$$ that day.

Me too Kelly. I kept wondering why I didn't get the "hot mommy" sea monkey when I added water.
