[Shelti]

Please answer TRUE or FALSE to each

statement, then leave another one

for the next person, and I will begin with ~

You know how to eat
withchopsticks

[Angharad]

True. Of course it depends on the company.

You wish a milkman still brought your dairy products. 

[Westerly_2]

so true, and in glass, not waxed cartons

there is a meat-delivery truck that serves your neighborhood

[Angharad]

Well, not really a meat-delivery truck like butchers used to drive, but a Schwan's delivery truck full of frozen meat and vegetables and other stuff.

You remember when dry cleaners would pick up your rugs, clean them, and even store them, if needs be.

[Westerly_2]

true

you remember the iceman who delivered a fresh block of ice every few days, (was it a week)

[Angharad]

False--They were still delivering in some places when I was a kid, but never where I lived.

You didn't do your own washing, except intimate apparel. The laundry did it all, including sheets.

[Westerly_2]

so false

you had an older relative who used to iron everything after the wash, including sheets undies,  hankies and pajamas

[Angharad]

Hahaha. My Dad was a mad ironer of handkerchiefs. I think he liked ironing them because they were square. The rest was done by the laundry when I was a kid. So, true and false.

This is a two-pronged question :>) : 1) You got an allowance. 2) If you got an allowance, it was less than all your friends'.

[Westerly_2]

true to 1. As for two, I think mine was about the same. Mom liked to keep up with the other parents.

you saved your allowance to pay for your first 2-wheeled bike

[Angharad]

False. I didn't get an allowance and my parents wouldn't let me work.

You were allowed to ride your bike anywhere as long as you were home by dark.

[Westerly_2]

yeah, pretty much, no helmets either

you and your friends did dangerous things, like riding without your hands on the handlebars

[Angharad]

Absolutely! Isn't that what being a kid is all about? :>)

You still have at least one childhood friend.

[Westerly_2]

no, moved around too much

you look forward to, and attend your family and school reunions
