You Know You Are Old When

YKYO when you remember being able to buy pea-shooters in a kit with half peas! Am I remembering that correctly?

Cherry pit spitting, too.

Ohhh it hurts to find a cherry pit in the pie.

Yeah it does! I picked enough cherries to make 5 pies this year... and send our dentist to Hawaii!

Beats a steel shot pellet in the bird you're eating!

Or a lead pellet in corn. I bought some at a farm stand last year and found bird shot in it. I understand they want to keep the crows away but...

Well I say either way you find the pellet is much preferred to receiving the pellet directly from the source... from personal experience, it smarts.

Spring for the longer one. It was great when I had my back surgery.

Here's a memory from 60+ years ago. If I misbehaved in school (often ) teacher sent me home to write "I will not act up in class" 500 times on notebook paper. I would go to our garage & cut a strip of wood or use a old wooden ruler and mark it like every 1/2", the line spacing on notebook paper. Then drill holes in a row for pencils. So I'd have 20 pencils in a row only having to write it 25 times. It worked great!
