Remember Your First Kiss???
Do you remember:
Being sent to the drugstore to test vacuum tubes for the TV.
When Kool-Aid was the only drink for kids, other than milk and
sodas.
When there were two types of sneakers for girls and boys (Keds &
PF Flyers), and the only time you wore them at school, was
for
"gym."
When it took five minutes for the TV to warm up.
When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.
When nobody owned a purebred dog.
When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny.
When girls neither dated nor kissed until late high school, if then.
When your mom wore nylons that came in two pieces.
When all of your male teachers wore neckties and female teachers
had their hair done, everyday.
When you got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas
pumped, without asking,.... for free, every time. And, you didn't
pay for air. And, you got trading stamps to boot!
When laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden
inside the box.
When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him, or use him
to carry groceries, and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing
of it.
When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner
at a real restaurant with your parents.
When they threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed ...
and did!
When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to
the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home.

substitute "presents" for "presence."
