As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrived home after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with 7 men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac Man ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery solving hippies that always had the munchies. The fault is not mine!

But I was higher class..I carried a metal lunch bucket that lard had come in, ate home made ham covered with mustard in a biscuit sandwich and drank room temp butter milk in a pint jar.
But I got to eat in the eating room of the school cafe, it had huge posters all over the walls with a big ear on one saying "Even the Walls have Ears" and "Jack Sprat could eat no fat and his wife could eat no Lean" which showed that married couple, a skinny man and a fat woman.
Another one told us to buy WAR BONDS and I think every week I took in a dime for a stamp for a savings book.

How about the empty cans we took to school, one room at my grade school was almost full of smashed cans you had to watch when you opened the door.

Believe it or not I walked to school up hill BOTH ways:)
I lived at the top of the hill and school was at the top of the next hill.

Rode my bike without a helmet
Rode in the street
Played in the woods and yard...barefooted!
Ate fried egg sandwiches, with mayo for lunch at school that had sat in my lunchbox all morning w/o freezer pak!
