You Know You Are Old When

You might be old if you remember crawling up onto the back ledge under the rear window of the car to sleep while on road trips.

You might be old if you remember the day JFK was shot like it was yesterday.

You might be old if you remember trying to watch Neil Armstrong step down onto the moon's surface through the snow on your TV. 

You might be old if you know the words to the Purple People Eater and These Boots Were Made for Walking.

You might be old if you remember segregation and the "separate but equal" bathrooms and water fountains, etc.  I guess you might be old too if you remember school desegregation and the protests over bussing.

You might be old if you remember watching your parents jitter bug when when some big band tune came on.

You might be old if you remember "the devil made me do it" and 'Hear Comes the Judge"!

  

 

I remember penny candy, grab bags, 88cent store, hamburger was 25 cents a pound and gas was also 25 cents a gallon. I got

a free wiglet with a fill up too.

 

And green stamps! Remember the green stamps that you could get a some gas stations and you would fill up a booklet with the stamps? I can't remember what the bonus or savings was. But I also remember when gas stations gave out drinking glasses like the kind for drinking milk out of when you filled up your tank.

I remember going to redeem the stamp booklets! There would be a showroom with small appliances (maybe other things!) that had signs in front of them with how many tickets..

Yes I do remember green stamps and I saw a sign for them last month on the Oregon coast.

I guess I am really old because I remember everything everyone has mentioned.  Oh dear.  I guess being old is better than the alternative, however.
