Remember your mom ordering your clothes from the Sears Catalog?
One outfit, but she'd buy it in 27 different colors.

Remember when there was some special treat about where you got to sit in the car, like the front seat, or the 'clear back' in the station wagon, and you had to trade off at every stop, so you made the tactical maneuver to let your sister sit in the front seat for the five minute drive to the post office, so your turn would be the 2 hour drive to Boise?

You had bread bags...? Lucky sods...Remember when your parents kicked you out of the house and locked the doors screaming, "I don't want to see your faces for two hours!" and you huddled at the back porch in your home-knit cotton mittens that were frozen solid while your bread-bag covered sock feet in your uninsulated red rubber boots tried to stomp for warmth?
Remember when, decades before the internet, your parents knew the intimate details of life in foreign lands?
"There are kids in Addis Ababa who would love to have Turkey Tetrazzini for dinner."
"There are kids in the coal mines of Argentina who'd kill for a shower at bedtime."
"Don't whine about taking a trash bag out. There are kids in Siberia who drag trash sleighs over the tundra for five miles..."
"Children in China are starving."
"Where?" You ask scornfully. But Daddy was prepared for the question.
"Beijing. The Kung Pow district. There's an orphanage at the corner of Main Street and Moon Shining On Still Water Boulevard."
"Wow, really?"
