'63, and doin' fine. remember the original easy-bake oven? i think i killed mine when the light bulb melted the plastic. slinkys. those oddball fabrics our clothes were made from. hippie vans. the flower children that i was supposed to avoid. candy that still cost 2¢. fishing for minnows in the irrigation ditch. no bike helmet. skate keys. roller rinks and drive-ins. a&w hamburgers.
elephant bells. the wedgie shoe. big hair (which i could never achieve). halter tops with fringe. smoking in public places. smoking before the age of 18 (or whatever it is now).
wow. i remembered something.

This. And, yes - I remember smoking in the hospital after surgery. Wax pop bottles and Pop Rocks. And Archie and Dennis the Mennis comics, as well as all of the DC and Marvel. XD
@ The Bunny of wind - But, please - no wedgies of any kind, and NO cabbage Patch dolls.
@THE Birthday Charity - Yes! I stole it from my little sister. lol

Ha! There you are. Old woman. lol

I feel sad that my children didn't, couldn't, have the freedom we had. They grew up in an age when every other day some child was snatched, or offered drugs, or got into trouble for trespassing on someone's property, when we ourselves could roam almost at will from dawn to dusk. My children couldn't even ride their bikes where we lived, the traffic had grown so bad.

I loved being able to go to the creek and see how many tat-pols there were and trying to see if you could find a frog or toad.

OMG! I forgot all about the tadpoles and pollywogs! In late spring/early summer, they were prevalent in some small, shallow ponds near the highway viaduct where I grew up! Remember getting a few cattails for mom while we were there too! 4laugh

I remember that the field across the highway was used for the traveling carnival. Before it was made into a shopping mall. Which is now quite dead, from what I understand.
But that was when they weren't as strict with the maintenance. And the food wasn't monitored. The tickets might have been about 10 cents, and the 'all-day-pass' was maybe a dollar.
I think.
Maybe not. My memory doesn't seem to be that good.
