I am not a particularly big eater, although i do have a sweet tooth. When i was a kid, was of average size so food was never an issue for me (except that i have always been picky).
Remember when
Remember when…? – Pencil
I was not a particularly accident prone child when i was young, but i still encountered a few accidents, as most youngsters. In grade 2, i was victim of a really freak incident.
Remember when…? – Pie
Some kids would eat anything while onn the other hand, some kids will not eat what we want them to eat. I know that, as i have kids that fall in those two categories. Personally, i was a picky eating kid, and i grew up as a picky eater too. Oh well!
Remember when…? – Parade
When I was in Secondary 2 (equivalent of grade 8), I went to a new school and that school had a band. I had never participated in a band before. Since several students had been there for a few years already, I was offered a "position" in the flag bearer line up instead of in the musical part. At least, that was not too hard, right?
Remember when…? – Washing
Things have obviously changed over time, and one of those things is everyone's job description. Now, because of unions and job descriptions, i know that i can't hammer a nail to hang anything in my office because i have to ask the maintenance staff; it is THEIR job, not mine. But 40-50 years ago, that didn't seem to be a problem, and the students, at the end of the year, would do the janitor's job!
Remember when…? – Fudge
I have a sweet tooth, i admit. I always had it. Although my Mom was never super interested in cooking, she had a few of my favorite dishes, especially in the dessert category.
Remember when…? – Pen and paper
In the last decade or so, we have seen an explosion of technology and this has changed how children play. The old toys and activities have been replaced by monitors and controlers. Social play seemed to have faded away for smart phones, and sedentary activities. But looking back, it is amazing how little we needed to keep ourselves entertained!
Remember when…? – Phone
With the common use of call display on many modern phones, we have the option of answering or not answering since can often know who is the caller. Back in the days, this was not as easy and either one would answer a call from someone they really didn't want to answer, or they would ignore a call from someone they really wanted to talk to. But my parents had a trick for that!
Remember when…? – Baking
Just like many little girls, back in the days, i was looking forward to learn to cook, and mostly to bake. Of course, baking cookies, or a cake was a dream for me. That is, until i got my own "oven": the famous "Easy Bake" oven.
Remember when…? – Dolls
Several people have had dolls when they were young and might have kept one or more of them over the years. Although i had some dolls to play with, i also had a whole collection of dolls i only had a look at, once in a while.
