Funny we never got sick, never died from hoof and mouth disease or anything else. What a wonderful world it was growing up in the 1950's and 1960's.
A DIFFERENT WORLD:.
Song by Bucky Covington
Lyrics
We were born to mothers who smoked and drank
Our cribs were covered in lead based paint
No child proof lids, no seat belts in cars
Rode bikes with no helmets, and, still, here we are, still, here we are
We got daddy's belt when we misbehaved
Had three TV channels you got up to change
No video games and no satellite
All we had were friends, and they were outside, playin' outside
Our cribs were covered in lead based paint
No child proof lids, no seat belts in cars
Rode bikes with no helmets, and, still, here we are, still, here we are
We got daddy's belt when we misbehaved
Had three TV channels you got up to change
No video games and no satellite
All we had were friends, and they were outside, playin' outside
It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world
School always started the same every day
The pledge of allegiance, then someone would pray
Not every kid made the team when they tried
We got disappointed and that was all right; we turned out all right
The pledge of allegiance, then someone would pray
Not every kid made the team when they tried
We got disappointed and that was all right; we turned out all right
It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world
No bottled water, we drank from a garden hose
And every Sunday all the stores were closed
And every Sunday all the stores were closed
It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world
It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world
It was a different world
I am forever thankful for my childhood and the life I was given so long ago. Thankful for my Catholic school education before everyone and everything got strange. Different times, different world, such truth.
Rest well. dream some sweet dreams and praying for a new tomorrow with all of you.

I totally agree with all of this! You never heard of food being recalled due to food poisoning, or serial killers. Kids could stay out all day and play, with no worries.
It's amazing that any of us survived!
