Did he get the flowers and bananas, too? If so, he gets an A for effort!View attachment 149904
I said to my husband I miss the humidity (as in “let’s take a trip”). This was his solution.

I group jacks with hopscotch and rubber band ropes. Girls were very dexterous with the jacks . Everyone had "chips" for hopscotch because their keys were attached together with this. And girls could show their athleticism with the rubber band ropes (is there a name for this) while wearing a dress, since they were not allowed to wear "pedal pushers" in school.Then there was that other sidewalk pleasure—playing “jacks.” This will mean nothing to the men out there, unless they had sisters.
The game involved a set of little metal (or plastic) thingies like atomic starbursts, plus a little hard rubber ball. Depending on how many thingies you picked up & accumulated while your ball was on the bounce, you achieved “onesies … twosies … threesies” etc.
Not too late... you can tell him what a good time you had when you return and maybe buy him a lava lamp.I think I would have preferred the trip to a humid climate ha ha. Guess we were on different wavelengths
Ha ha!Not too late... you can tell him what a good time you had when you return and maybe buy him a lava lamp.
Yes, caps! That's what I've been thinking all through this discussion.We called these toys 'cap guns' and the red strips of paper with the gunpowder dots were the 'caps'. I remember how puzzled I was when my best friend, Mark Bauman, boasted to me that he had managed to buy '5000 caps!' I was confused, thinking only of baseball caps and couldn't figure out why anyone in their right mind needed, or could afford, that many hats. He was talking about a big bag of ammunition for his cap pistol.
Mwahahahaha! Thanks for making me laugh, I'm sick right now and getting really bored not being able to sing.Here are a couple of bumper stickers that I thought Voran Might appreciate:
