It's 1955, Most of your friends have both a mother and a Father.
Divorce was something rich people and movie stars did.
When you came home from school, you did your homework and went out until dark or when your mom yelled out of the window for you to come home.
A teacher could hit you if you were out of control and if you told your parents, you'd get it again.
On Saturday , you're up with the Sun, The guys were cracking tops , shooting Skelly , playing punchball, stoop ball, stick ball or soft or hard ball.
11 am time to go to the PAL , BOYS OR GIRLS CLUB, YMCA OR YMHA or Bible school @ 12:30 free movie passes were given out.
The first 100 kids got a free .10 cent bag of popcorn.
25 cartoons and at least two main features sometimes three and a short and the movie tone news. It was an all day affair.
Wish I could fit more. TV hours etc.kids didn't use the home phone. We were very happy. It was good to be a kid.
Better now? Why if not fill in for me

You are looking at the bright side of it. That many things now are a mess doesn't mean before was perfect. It was nice reading those memories though...

Is your glass half full or empty?
It's all in how YOU look at things, and how you respond to life as it is today.
