I can't remember any myself, but DH told me he believed that cranberries were great big jelly things. They put one in each can. There is also a meme I find amusing. "Quicksand has not turned out to be the big problem I thought it was going to be when I was little."

that when you heard music on the radio, there was a live orchestra or band at the other end, playing. I may have got this from my mom, she was born in 1912 so probably when she was little, it Was true, and I may have picked up on a chance remark.

Recycler, I think most kids then and even now think that. My grandson is 12 and thinks he's a man. I told him to enjoy being a kid where all you have to worry about is going to school, make good grades and clean you room. Of course he doesnt listen.

that smoking would stunt your growth, what they left out was, not smoking wouldn't make you taller. I'm 5 ft 2. Which for me, I like being short

That drinking coffee black would stunt my growth. My grandma told me that, and when I got to be 5' 8", she had to tell me it was a good thing I did drink some black otherwise I might have been 6 ft. My mom and grandma were 5' 2".

I recall thinking that rock musicians (Beatles etc) were performing "Live" inside the local radio stations just for us.

Ha, I was a nervous,anxious child, and I couldn't wait to grow up and be an adult so I wouldn't have any more anxiety. Ooops, doesn't work that way I guess!

My family were such devoted Ole Miss fans (the Archie Manning era) that I thought every family went to football games on Saturday and church on Sunday. As I got older I realized that others don't do that. Church on Sunday continues but I haven't been to a game in years.

I can answer this one for my Mom. She told me that when I grew up I wouldn't even remember the Beatles, much less play their music............... Wrong on both counts! The Beatles are etched in my soul.
