Do you remember?
Thirty things from growing up in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Tap every one you lived through.
Coming home when the streetlights came on
Getting up to change the TV channel by hand
A phone on the kitchen wall with a cord that reached every room
Waiting a week for your photos to come back from the drugstore
Sunday dinner with the whole family at one table
Riding in the way-back of a station wagon
Drinking straight from the garden hose
A candy dish at Grandma's you weren't allowed to touch
Mom's special voice for answering the phone
Recording songs off the radio onto a cassette
Sitting at the kids' table on holidays
Popcorn made in a big pot on the stove
Running outside when the ice cream truck came down the street
Saturday morning cartoons in your pajamas
Picture day, with a comb in your back pocket
Being told to close the door because you weren't cooling the whole neighborhood
Building a fort out of the couch cushions
Writing a letter and waiting weeks for the answer
The good towels nobody was allowed to use
Dialing a friend's number from memory
Bringing in the newspaper from the driveway
Shag carpet you could lose a toy in
An encyclopedia set on the living room shelf
Avocado or harvest-gold kitchen appliances
Being sent outside to play for the whole day
A family slide show on a pull-down screen
Clipping coupons at the kitchen table
Circling toys in the big Christmas catalog
The ballgame playing on a transistor radio
A whole street of kids playing until dark
