Saturday morning cartoons.
Being excited to open a new box of cereal to find the “prize.”
Recording songs off the radio (and trying not to get the DJ talking).

Burning Hot Wheels track. The molten, flaming plastic drops made a distinctive whooshing sound.

Remember old school green and white printer paper?
And tearing off the hole parts and making this sort of braid/chain by folding them over themselves?

Gonna go out on a limb here and say it was rare that any of you except iwyLSUiwy had to get up at 7:30 on a Saturday morning and put on church clothes and a tie to go knock on doors.
Or that any of you weren't allowed to play with neighborhood kids because they would somehow tear you away from your family cult.
The school cafeteria smells are universal, tho.

If growing up you didn’t know at least one old man that wore these everyday, did you really have a childhood?

most of mine involve riding a bicycle like an idiot
let's see, things that I hit: cars, trees, curbs

I’m pretty sure the ice cream truck song is the same everywhere in the world. If I heard it today, I’d probably start running home to get a quarter.
We get a customized van through the neighborhood. With my hearing loss and the new high definition digital media the music sounds a lot different from childhood.
He’s already started making the rounds about the middle of February.

There were a lot of good gravel driveways and live oak trees in Kenwood area back then. Wished my kids could have the freedom we did back then.

Family spending the weekend at the camp on the lake. No phones. No tv. Fresh fried catfish and swimming(always turned into mud war and someone getting mud in their eyes. 
) And dad pulling me and my friends on hydroslide. Straight line was never good enough. So he’d go in circles to make us do double the speed of the boat until you busted your azz.(flipping on top of the water)
Today’s parents: “No way! I could hurt that child.”
1980s parents: “ Get back on! This time I’ll slow down in the circle so the wake is huge and you can jump .”

Looking at the Sears Wishbook for the month leading up to Christmas.
Tent camping with my dad and brothers in the Achafalaya basin for a week or two in the summer and fishing all day. (Note: no way you could do this today with the number of gators today vs then)
Dad letting me skip school every now and then to run crawfish traps with him. Sitting on the deck cutting beef melt to bait the traps.
Tent camping in the woods with my friends. Winter or summer, didn't matter. Getting a free box of donuts when the Krispy Kreme delivery driver was dropping off at the local store before it opened.
Fishing all day behind the levee and bringing the catch home in the evening and Dad frying it for us.

As my dad called them, "the old monkey suit". My Dad and PawPaw would not be caught dead it that git up, and they both were plant Baws.

My Dad wore them in the 70s. He called them coveralls, but some reason, he said "cover" with a long o.

You grow up in Bossier? That was me too.
We had a corner lot, our yard plus the neighbors across the street were the baseball field.
But we also lived a couple blocks from Walbrook, practically lived there.

Getting excited my name was called by the coach that I made the team in little league.
The look on my best friends face when he got cut.
