Our childhood toys
The children today play video games and everything electronic. It was so different when I was a child.......
We had:
Hoola Hoops
Yo Yo's
Dolls
Trucks
Toy soldiers
Electric Trains
Bikes
Teeter Totters
Swings
Barbie Dolls
We dressed up in Mom's long skirts and high heels and put on little concerts for the neighbourhood kids.
We played spin the bottle
Hide and Seek
Baseball
We had indian rubber balls that we threw up against the school and they would bounce so high
We went swimming, ice skating, fished and had picnics in the woods.
We didn't talk on the phone. Some families had a phone and I can still remember our phone number. It was 604J.......I will never forget that, but I wasn't allowed to talk to anybody. We had a party line and the old lady next door would listen in to all mom's conversations. My mom would say "hang up the phone Mrs Moore"
We had a teen dance every Saturday night, but I had to go with my brother and come home with him....I could only dance fast dances with girls...no boys, hahaha.
Those were the days........we had a nice life. I don't think I would have been happy being a child in this world of technology..........
