I don't know if this is really the right thread for this, but...
When I was a kid, I wasn't sure if I could say "collard greens" around my black friends. I thought maybe the adults were saying "colored" instead of "collard," and it was some sort of slur!

Remember when... we would all sign up for Columbia House, and get 13 records OR tapes for $1? You had to fill out the card, mail it in, and in about 2 months you'd get a delivery!
Oh, the life of a teenage criminal...

We would take a "Sun Bath" as it was called in the 60s. We had no suntan oil but we had motor oil. And, Man , the tan we did get !

Sometime around the 80's a kid got murdered and every parent started watching their kids like a hawk. They taught their kids that old people were dangerous. So, age become a big issue. Before that, girls would marry at around 13 to a male 20 years older than them.

I don't remember anyone with a key but people in my neighborhood never locked their doors. Actually, most people's doors didn't even have a lock. Maybe a hook for screen doors to keep the door closed in order to keep the bugs out.

We always had a key hidden then our parents would be home in a couple hours after us.

Aww, honey, I'm pretty sure that everything posted has been true!!
Here's another...
When I was in elementary school, most of us wore a necklace with our house key on it. We'd ride the bus home in the evening, and our parents were at work so we would go on in by ourselves and wait until our parents got home.
A lot of people worked 2nd shift, so you might be alone until 11:30!
And nobody thought it was weird, because literally everybody did the same thing!
Look up "latchkey kids."

Bus drivers used to smoke on the bus, and couldn't care less if students did...

Yes, I remember student bus drivers too. We used to dare our student driver to purposefully get stuck in a muddy turn-around spot down some gruesome holler. We'd usually be successful & then have to wait for the tow driver, We would be back for our second period classes - to our great dismay, etc. lol - fun times.
