I'm so old I Remember when:

[EmmaDonovan]

I remember squiggly lines and color posters you stared at till your eyes crossed and then the 3D image would pop out at you

I could never see the picture.

Yo-yo, rubix cube, baby alive..... toys of yesteryear.

And who can forget when a string with a knot was a creative toy?

I remember I could make a pair of overalls

I remember Corky and the theme song oh-bla-di oh-bla-da (you're welcome for the earworm) but not much else. I remember the mom was really sweet to her son and the dad was supportive - in a dad sorta of way - of the son with Downs. I could look up the other characters but let's face it, unless you were a teenage boy with a crush on one of the sisters, no one watched this show for anyone other than Corky.

Before kids could choose their own gender, before everyone got a participation trophy, I used these in high school. The roots of a well-meaning, indulgent society go back generations.

My left handed sister just started in the back of the right handed notebook. She had to get special left handed scissors, though

I don't remember if anyone has mentioned Penny Loafers that kids actually put pennies in and wore to school.

I remember wearing the tassel loafers in college
and saddle shoes in grammar school and 8th grade girls got to wear the the ones with the flaps

Did we remember my man Gumby yet?

Loafers that flap? Were they broken or just well broken in?
