YOU'RE GETTING OLDER IF YOU CAN REMEMBER.....

 Being sent to the drugstore
 to test vacuum tubes for the TV or radio.

 When Kool-Aid was the only other drink
 for kids, other than milk and sodas.

 When boys couldn't wear anything
 but leather shoes to school.

 When it took five minutes for the TV
 to warm up.

 When all your friends got their hair cut
 at the kitchen table.

 When nearly everyone's mom was at home
 when the kids got there.

 When women were called,
 "Mrs. John Smith,"
 instead of their own name.

 When nobody owned a pure-bred dog.

 When a dime was a decent allowance,
 and a quarter a huge bonus.

 When you'd reach into a muddy gutter
 for a penny.

 When girls neither dated nor kissed
 until late high school, if then.

 When your mom wore nylons
 that came in two pieces.

 When all your teachers
 wore either neckties or
 had their hair done, everyday.

 When you got your windshield cleaned,
 oil checked, and gas pumped,
 without asking, for free, every time.
 And you got trading stamps to boot!

 When laundry detergent had free glasses,
 dishes or towels hidden inside the box.

 When any parent could discipline any kid,
 or feed him, or use him to carry
 groceries, and nobody, not even the kid,
 thought a thing of it.

 When it was considered a great privilege
 to be taken out to dinner at a
 real restaurant with your parents.

 When they threatened to keep kids
 back a grade if they failed--and did!

 When being sent to the principal's office
 was nothing compared to the fate that
 awaited a misbehaving student at home.
