Something young kids today will never understand
#21
RE: Something young kids today will never understand
Lighting a mosquito coil and a candle before you go to the outside dunny at night, checking for snakes or toads under the wooden rim and then shovelling sawdust into the hole after you're finished.
Washing your clothes in two concrete tubs with an electric wringer.
Everybody congregating in the kitchen at night because we only had one portable gas light during the biweekly blackouts.
Mosquito nets over the beds.
Bread in a wax packet, glass milk bottles and brown paper shopping bags.
The excitement of remembering family holidays on slide night with the Kodak projector.
Visiting other countries in mostly black and white on the view master.
