Memories

Did you ever run a diaper pin through your hair to make it easier to use?

Have you ever torn up rags to use as bandages?

. . . pulled your child in a red wagon to the corner store down the road cause strollers just were not in your budget.

. . . taken a taxi to hubby’s workplace to get the family car cause child woke up needing a doctor visit? (most families still only had one car apiece)

. . . had one doctor for everything, children, childbirth, skin moles EVERYTHING?

. . . boil baby bottles to sterilize them – the nipples too?

. . . made five pairs of pants all the same for your child cause that was the way things were – children did not have to make a fashion statement in those days

. . . cut your children’s hair, gave them perms and suffered the consequences (tears sometimes, happiness others)

Those were the days -times were not simpler or harder, just different.
