			Our parents never had to look for a warning label on a single or an album 
  
There was no such thing as "latch-key kids" 
  
You did what you were told to do and you NEVER thought of even asking, WHY???  
  
Designated as civil defense shelters I remember having "air raid" drills where we learned how to get under our desk or in the hallway on the floor with our heads and necks covered 
  
There was a mother and father living at home 
  
We called our elders Mr. Mrs. or Miss. there was no Ms. then, and definitely we did not call elders by their first name 
  
Our parents knew exactly where we were and there were no posters seeking little children gone missing 
  
You could safely leave both front and back doors wide open and all the windows too, and trust that noone would come in and rob you 
  
You could go Trick or Treating and did NOT have to have your candy examined. 
  
When I was a kid everyone knew the mailman by his name. The Ice Cream truck driver knew all the parents AND the kids. The milk man came to my parents door.  
  
I remember playing outside with the other kids until dark and you came in when the street light came on..BTW I was told the "Tooth Fairy lived in what I know now to be the "transformer" box, on said light pole"  
  
I remember when students respected teachers 
  
There was no such thing as a "drug" problem 
  
There was a Drive In just outside of town 
  
Hide and go seek, Jacks and Jump rope. 
  
We ate meals at home there were no fast food places and when we went out to Dinner, we dressed nice and we knew to "mind our manners"  
  
Christmas toys were actual toys. You played outside and had to actually use your imagination. You drank out of the water hose because mom was moping the floors and cooking and she didnt want you getting things dirty. 
  
WE were the remote control and the channels were 2, 11, 13, 8, 26 and 39.  
  
Mutual of Omaha was on Sunday nights as well as The Wonderful World of Disney. 
  
Leave it To Beaver, I dream of Jeannie, The Munsters and I Love Lucy were after school favorites. 
  
Guns were for the police and the military 
  
We had manners! Yes Ma'am, No Ma'am, Thank you and No Thank you. Please and Your Welcome. NEVER a No or Ya or "Whatever"  
  
Shag carpet!!
