Eye opening isn't it. I wonder what people will say about us in 100 years.

They would be saying,

Look at those kids with all those holes in there heads

My grandmother would be 102 & she told us she remembered when they were 1st made. Greatgrandmother ordered them from Kansas City. How nice to have to throw them away. Can you imagine these little missys today having to wash them like they did long ago. Thus where the term "rag" can into being.Makes you really appreciate modern inventions.

When i was 11 or 12 yrs old my Mother asked me if I had a belt. duh! of course i had a belt! not the kind she meant but how was I to know? jeesh. talk about not talking to your children. turned out i didn't need the 'belt' till i was 14.

My mother didn't tell me jack about anything. I would read her ladies magazines & saw the ads for stuff & finally when I pressured her she told me what it was all about. Never a sex talk, nothing. When I was going to get married she told me to go buy some birthcontrol & a douche bag. Never said what for either. Man it's a wonder I grew up. When my DD came along I made sure she was well informed about everything. She didn't have to learn it on the streets. I was not going to do my kids like my parents did me. Some things from the past might be nice but I love my modern conveiences

mayday

wonderful, thanks Ditter,a different slower world ,remember a lot ,especially being told that tiresome babies had their dummies dipped in Laudanum----which as with you opium was not that controlled and easily purchased!!!!!!
