Look again....I won't comment on the two little boys taking a look at the little girl upside down in the skirt! Oh wait, I did!

As a teenager in the mid 1960's, this was my summer job for a few summers.
You would ask them how is the elevator business. They would always reply it has its ups and downs....lolI remember when every elevator had an "elevator-operator"
...And the 'door' they closed, looked like a bunch of scissors
I didn’t like butter for the longest time because my mom liked the little sour pearls of buttermilk in the butter. I was an adult before I learned most people rinse it and it didn’t taste like that
I still shake the small cartons of milk.
All I read was your mom liked " little Pearl"!!I didn’t like butter for the longest time because my mom liked the little sour pearls of buttermilk in the butter. I was an adult before I learned most people rinse it and it didn’t taste like that
Yep. I waited on a line but my big brother had to go with me...he had the money.I remember the line of kids in the store, every one of them holding a shiny dime in their fingers, when word got out that the kites had arrived.
That was one happy day!
He, hee!

Rode a bicycle to work until I could save up enough to buy my first old car.
I remember!
.) spoke up and said: "if everybody moves half way to the center, the RPM will double, and if we move half the way closer, it will double again".

You can power those spinners with a motorcycle or dirt bike.I remember these, do you?
We had fun on them as kids.
Funny story:
It wasn't until I was in college that I learned how to "Turbo" one
We bored students that lived in the dormitory would go to the playground in the state park late at night to drink beer and smoke dope.
We were all taking the physics course, which was key.
We grown-up kids could spin that merry go round really fast.
And then one of us physics students, (coulda been me
The fun:
1. Last one that didn't make it to the center, gets slung off, tumbling thru the grass.
2. If you did make it to the center, as fast as it was spinning, whether you were drinking or smoking, you couldn't stand up when you got off
If you look at merry go rounds today, you will see that they had to redesign them so the top bars no longer go straight to the center, but down to the floor instead.
Not fun:

I'll see your super balls and raise you klackers.I remember when, every kid had one of these...
They defied the laws of physics, and would bounce higher than the height they were dropped from!
My great uncle made a set for me. I enjoyed them until I out grew them. I could trek any landscape or surface.
This made me laugh. I remember my mother always complaining about my grandparents talking all the time about their medical issues, doctor's appointments, and bodily functions. My mom swore she would NEVER be like that........ well, she was.. exactly like that. Funny stuff.
