Your Saturday Morning Memories

FireSignFemme · 02-26-2016, 09:17 PM

I used to look after my siblings and kept them quiet so we could watch cartoons as long as possible before our mom woke up and either sent us out to play or put us to housework. Sometimes I'd get up very early and go with my dad to his second, part time job and help him out there.

I used to get up way before my mom on Saturday mornings and go turn on our tiny black and white tv. I would sit or lie on the floor as close as I could so I could reach the knobs of the tv. I watched He-man, the littles, smurfs, scooby doo, kids incorporated, and I'm not sure about the others. I remember not wanting to watch the gi Joe cartoon or inspector gadget - those two annoyed me for some reason. Mom would get up when she felt like it. For a while she had an admirer, Jose, who came to call every Saturday morning with a box of donuts, and I would eat donuts and watch tv while they talked. The donuts and Jose are happy memories, but one morning Jose came over, and my mom said she had seen his wedding announcement in the paper and congratulated him. After that, he stopped coming over and I had no more Saturday morning donuts. Then when I turned 7, I ended up going to string project on Saturday mornings, which was a free orchestra program for kids. I played the cello there and it was alright. Mom would pack a picnic lunch, and after string project, we would find a nice place to sit out under the trees and enjoy our lunch.

Even tho there were good cartoons to watch, I was always a little sad that Captain Kangaroo and the gang wasn't around on Saturday mornings

Getting my hair washed while leaning over the kitchen sink. Always water in my eyes! Then wearing my hair up in pig tails with the pink sponge curlers, all.day.long.

I wasn't the only one, my best friend wore them too. I did have the prettiest ringlet ponytails for Church come Sunday morning.
