I'm so old I Remember when:

[Sally PB]

Never heard of slate records. I do remember my dad's 78s being very brittle. He picked on up and clipped it slightly on the corner of the bookcase, and it shattered.

I said slate but they could have been soap stone or similar. I just remember they were heavy, thick, and cool to the touch. definitely made from something other than vinyl. Only time I ever saw anything like them.

We didn't have kindergarten back then. That series also did not exist then.

Nope, doesn't look familiar.

I remember those (and may still have some). But I don't think they were made of slate. Bakelite maybe?

Maybe that's what my dad's 78s were made of. I remember them being heavy, thicker than my records, and very brittle.

There was no public school kindergarten when I was little. I went to a private school kindergarten at a church.

We read the Dick and Jane series. I remember the book Run Spot, Run.

The first time I saw Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was at the local theater. We called it going to the show. It always included cartoons before the movie.

I can not remember the last time I went to the show???

DO IT! Theaters are modernizing to entice people away from NetFlix and their own comfy armchairs. DD treated me to a movie for Christmas (Moana II - WONDERFUL flick!) and I was shocked at the upgrades. The full-on easy chair recliners - with foot rests -`oversize armrests (no sharing) and a flip-down "side-table" were amazing! Get your popcorn early, 'cause you won't want to leave your seat!
