I remember reading that in the 1950's.
Dick, Jane, Sally, Spot and Puff....
...and Zeke the gardener! I just read internet stuff about Zeke probably being a brown guy who didn't get any respect because he wasn't called Mr. Zeke. This completely ruined the whole thing for me.
I feel sorry for Judy having to deal with this as an adult.
I remember when, if you wanted whipped cream on a dessert you had to whip it yourself.
The first time I made whipped cream I made butter instead.
Whenever the job of whipping cream was left to me, mom would remind me and repeat, "don't whip it too much and turn it to butter". I never did. Such a fine-line though, one second it's cream, the next it's butter.
I taught my pre-school granddaughter to read from one of those "first reader" books I got at an auction several years ago. Only it was Tim, Sally and Boots instead of Dick, Jane and Spot. But the pictures looked the same.
Our dog was named "Flip."
I got a television-shaped pencil sharpener for finishing 10 SRA books.
The kind where the picture changes between two scenes when you move it. ^
A precursor to I-phones, they were portable, multi-functional and low power, but the content did get a bit... "samey."
I liked my school, they had weekend matinees, they had free popcorn and played movies like this one, remember "The Red Balloon"?
Comic strips Dick Tracey. Terry and the Pirates, Li'll Abner and Mammy Yokum ,Nancy and Sluggo
We had a program in Los Angeles where "Mr. Wishbone" would read the kids the Sunday funnies for kids too young to read, and everyone else, I could read, but watched along.
Mr. Wishbone had a regular after school daytime show for kids, and if you wrote to him he would send you a gift... and he really did, I got a very nice Tonka truck sent to me.
He had "Mickey Mud Turtle" and his sister Michelle Mud Turtle, I don't believe the creepy rabbit was a regular part of the show!
We also had "Hobo Kelly," kids sent a postcard and every day she would fire up the giant toy machine, cranking the side and all these expensive toys would spill out as the machine exploded and went "haywire," of course each time in the kid's favor.

Mom told my older sister to read the funnies and bedtime stories to me. My older brother taught me how to play the card game War when I was about 5 years old. One of the sibs taught me how to tie my shoes. It was probably my sister.
