Pentecostal. 1960's - 1970's.
No makeup, no jewelry (except a watch), no pants for girls, only skirts that had to be at least to the bottom of the kneecap.
Parent-approved TV, only classical and religious music allowed in the house. No dancing, no games with dice or playing cards.
No shopping on Sunday, no TV on Sunday. No drinking or smoking, obviously.
What else? Mother was particularly susceptible to "bible health fads". The few months when she made us drink warm
cider vinegar every morning because "Jesus drank it" was kind of icky.
