All affairs are variations on a theme. No one has 'Beethoven's 5th' to everyone else's 'Chopsticks'.

My DD13 asked me - Mom, did you have TV when you were a kid?
You're quite lucky, wannabenormal. When they were 5 and 6, my kids wanted to know if there had been TV while I was alive.

Do you remember having an Atari and playing pac-man on it at home..I still have one that my son had...
I also still have a nine-inch color tv that has a turn dial on it and it still works..I have a VCR that has metal gears in it...And the remote is connected with a cord to the back to control it..
I remember when we didn't have gears on our bicycles and didn't have to wear helmets and knee pads to ride it either...
I remember when there wasn't seatbelts in cars..And you could get to the oil filter and be able to change your own oil...

Oh my goodness, a Viewmaster! Haven't seen one of those in a while!
I had a Kodak Brownie (with big flash attachment). Thought I was the cat's meow!

Edited to add: The site says it was discontinued in 1961 so that must have been the year I got it. I was 13. OMG!

FYI, they actually still make ViewMasters! I sent my 2yr old nephew a ViewMaster and some Superman slides (via Amazon) for his birthday a few weeks ago.

You know you're getting old when you say the 'Serenity Prayer' and the road actually DOES rise up to meet you (at least it seemed that way) ...
