REMEMBER THOSE SPECIAL TIMES!!
Remember the day's when we were young, when our Mother or Aunts wore mink stoles, and sometimes they weren't even outside! :-) Remember the day's when we played hop scotch, bought our first car, most of us married, and fewer got divorced! Remember Radio and Early TV, We didn't have the Internet in those day's. In fact we didn't even have Cell phones. What Memories do you have to share about your life? Join in the fun! Shelby

      I spent this morning in one of the sheds, going through some of my bins of 'stuff'.  In one I found an old cigar box and inside were a few things that I'd forgotten all about...a class picture (all of our class and our teacher instead of single photos like they get now)....report cards...(much less complex than my third-grader granddaughter's)....tax stamps (we lived in Ohio and they gave you different colored/valued stamps and we saved them desperately to turn in at school cause the class with the highest total got a party)...a **** and Jane reader...a picture of Ronnie Dexter who ran up and kissed me on the last day of 6th grade - and a U.S. Savings Stamp book with four stamps in it..(you'd buy a stamp or two every month and when it was filled you could trade it for a savings bond.

 

    Brought back a lot of happy memories.

Hi Katie,

 

   One memory evokes others, and I thank you for this group topic.  I remember a few incidents in Grade School.  One of which was at Graduation time, we would have our school mates sign our little autograph books. 

 

   Katie I really should have been a better speller, because I signed a boys book, "Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweat, and so are you!" 

 

  Then there was the time in Kindergarden or first grade, where a boy was going to sit down in his school chair.    By mistake, I pulled out his seat just then, and he ended up going down and landed smack, right on the floor. 

 

   Katie, I laughed so hard, that I peed in my pants, and was I embarrased!   I don't think the teacher gave me any paper angels to paste on the board that day!   Shelby

Let's see the bias:
ding **** bell
little pussy cat
**** and Jane
robin red breast

 Seems to be the MALE anatomy that they censor

Apparently the censorbot does not like us to name Jane's brother.

I had one of my mom's old **** and Jane books, when I started school we had moved on to paperback Tom and Betty books. I've seen my dad's old school pictures--the whole class with the teacher, like you describe.  I remember the big fat pencils we used in first grade--and the cheap paper with chips of wood in it and "highway lines" (two solid lines with a dashed line in between as a guide for the difference in height of capitals and lower case, and also for tall letters like "h, l, t, b, d, k").
