I'm so old I remember... (strange, German, memories, driver)

I’m so old I remember when your great grandparents were just little kids playing in my back yard. All that we had to play with was a rock and a stick.

[delusianne]

and we loved that rock and stick!

This thread is getting long and maybe this has been brought up already, but it ties in with chocolate milk. I remember those bendy straws that you swirled in a glass of milk to make chocolate, or strawberry milk. No idea who made them, though.

I also recall when everyone, it seemed, got the new Sears catalog for free.

And walking down to the neighborhood farmer who sold fresh corn at forty cents a dozen and coming back with 14 ears. Just in case a couple of them weren't quite up to par.

Oh, and those Sears Silvertone electric guitars that came in a case that included its own amplifier.

I’m so old I remember when “checkers” was the only board game in the world. And it didn’t need batteries to play it.

I remember making some kind of remark to the girl next door and her flinging her clackers and hitting me between the shoulderblades, what a deadly toy.

And my little friends and I would spend hours poring over it, flipping the pages and chanting "I want this, and this, and this and ... "

I'm so old I cannot recall the last time I've laughed so much.
