Does anyone remember chasing the mosquito man's truck?

Absolutely, we thought it was so cool and thought it smelled good too. Of course, we are also the kids that grew up with every single adult in the house smoking cigarettes constantly so maybe it did smell good to what we were use too! Like the old song, we drank from the garden hose, rode bikes with no helmets on the highway with no adult supervision. Went to each other’s houses and played outside until dark. My mom did have a rule though, I had to be within ear shot of her whistle, if she had to blow it more than three times without me getting home, I was in trouble, therefore, I played outside unless it was already arranged I would be playing inside! Use to live about three miles from the edge of town so sometimes I would walk into town as a teenager, along a very busy highway, alone, walk all around and end up at Dad’s job so he could drive me back. This was before cellphones and I had the permission of my parents to do it. Never got into trouble and never looked for it. Would go visit my grandma and see my older sisters and my nieces and nephews. Go to the library and sometimes out to the department store, Hart’s to pick up something I might need or to get someone a gift with the money I made babysitting Do kids know any of that kind of life now? I’m so glad I grew up when I did, feel sorry for the way things are today!

You're actually dead.
