In 8th grade Jr High choir, no boys signed up. All year, it was all girls. So for our spring concert, the teacher had us all sew (or our moms sew) matching dresses. The hem could be no shorter than 2" above the knee. Welllll.... some of the girls decided to skip that suggestion. Wow, some of them really showed a LOT of leg.

Since the material was cut that short and there was no way to get more of the material nor time to sew another dress, the teacher just had to bite her tongue.

I'm surprised she didn't just say that those who didn't follow the instructions wouldn't be allowed to sing.

Ok. who was Underdogs primary nemesis? No peeking.

And don't forget the beautiful Penelope Purebred!

That would have been half the choir. There weren't many of us to begin with! Small school.

If my sisters did something like that, Mom would have made them wear a long slip underneath. "Dickies" were used for low necklines. Embarrassing either way.

One finger at a time. But a true lady would never remove her gloves in public.

Not in public, no.
Pull on each finger about an inch from one end to the other - pointer to pinky. Repeat several times. You didn't want to stretch the fingers out.

Just what it sounds like. A four year old standing on the kitchen table dropping shotgun shells on an imaginary town. He says he wore out way too many guardian angels as a kid, and I believe him.

Live shells??? Did this leave holes in the floor? And the parents allowed this?

I just looked at my Smallpox vaccination card. My first one was in 1961 which was two doses a few weeks apart.
Then I was vaccinated for smallpox (boosters I suppose) in 1965, 1968, 1972 and 1979.
The World Health Organization declared smallpox eradicated in nature in 1980.
I guess I am feeling pretty good I won't die of smallpox.

Thanks for looking that up! I am almost positive I only got one.... I wonder why!

Though I will say that anyone setting off fireworks past 12:15 AM should stop and head to bed

Up here the town fireworks were held at 8:30ish!!!

Nice! Midnight is an insane time.

In my high-school the "cool game" was 2 guys stand across from each other, feet shoulder width apart, standing on grass.. and you throw a knife between the other person's feet.

Each person goes, then you step back and repeat.

Kind of like the car game chicken, but less deadly.



in hindsight... since the person who has terrible aim does NOT suffer... and the person with better aim DOES suffer..


WHY was that a fun game????

My question is: where were the adults during this game?
