I hated those too. My gma's had a bee hive up by the roof and we had to be careful of them. I do like indoor plumbing.
Remember catching fireflies? We loved that or catching tadpoles in the spring. A kid could be outside after dark and not be afraid.
And party lines.......I work a for a cell phone company and kids have their own phones by age 10. Parents wonder when they lost control........
And a spanking was the way kids were punished. Yes you could go over board but we knew our parents ment what they said. We weren't afraid to go to school because we knew our parents would know what we did before we got home and would be waiting for us.
I could go on and on.
