I had spoolies I had dark brown ones. the pink ones hadn't come out yet. they made pin curls without bobby pins. I too liked to play with them. I also remember the milkman coming by in his truck with big chunks of ice all around the dairy products. and he would let us get a piece of ice to crunch on. and my mama always wearing a apron with a bib on it over her printed house dress.and her always having a hankie in her pocket to spit on and wipe our faces.
