[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 719797, member: 1233"] I am a little younger, but when they talked to us about periods in sixth grade, in the very early 80s, the nuns told us we would need belts to attach our sanitary pads to. We could not figure out what they were talking about. I don't even think you could buy them in stores at that time. But they somehow managed to give every girl a belt and a package of six pads to hook onto it for your first period. I don't know a single girl who tried it. I know one girl who's little brother made the belt into a slingshot. He took it to school. it was a big deal. In my high school you could have your gun in your car as long as it was in your gun rack. We have a lot of farm kids. Sometimes they have to shoot snakes to protect the herds or themselves. They only changed the rule after Columbine happened. I remember those plastic lemons on black plastic things you put on your ankles and hopped over. I have no idea what they were called. I loved mine mostly because it drove my brother crazy. He couldn't figure out why I wanted to do that, what I was accomplishing. I also remember hopscotch. No one plays that any more. My house was the cool house because my dad painted a hopscotch board on the driveway in the front yard. We often came home to find kids playing hopscotch in our driveway without us. Or woke up to it if we slept late in the summer. What about Four Square? We also played a lot of that. My dad painted that on the driveway too. Another thing we would find kids playing without us if we were not around. It never bothered us. [/QUOTE]
