The 50's diary

Do you remember the litle diaries we had in high school? Our friends wrote clever little sayings in them, just for us. If you were lucky, your pages were full by the time you graduated. I wish I still had one to show you. Here are a few sayings I remember. On this page of pure white only angels dare to write. Yours til a snake wears a corset to hold it's stomach in. Roses are red violets are blue, sugar is sweet and so are you. If you remember any, let me know. Life was simple then. Mom met you at the door when you got home from school and dad was there when you needed an adjustment. You learned your behavior and values by listening and watching your parents and their friends. Everyone in town kept an eye on you. If you got in trouble at school you sat in dentention. My dad told me if I was clever enough to get myself in trouble, I better be clever enough to get myself out of trouble. Make good decisions. You are responsible for your actions. If kids were perfect they wouldn't need parents. If parents.............? Those were the days my friend, I thought they'd never end.

What if you are a test tube baby and didn't have any parents? Should you go to the hospital help for guidance?

Kids are still kids and parents still make mistakes. The nano,cell phone and PS2 have replaced the diary but kids still learn how to behave thru their parents. You can never go wrong with common sense.

Is it still that common these days?
