I remember those things too,, except we called the creek a crick. I had roller skates with a skate key and we had a party line. I loved paper dolls! We played with brothers and sisters because we lived in the country on a farm and our nearest neighbors lived a mile away. And those kids were dumb anyway! We played school or house and even sometimes church (my sisters and I took turns being the priest!) most days during the summer. I babysat for 25 cents an hour. Oh well...I also belonged to the generation that would never amount to much because of rock'n roll.
