Other memories from the past.......
The good old days are long gone and the simple things aren't simple any more. The technology generation has taken away so many things.
Instead of sitting in the house, car, porch, school, etc., etc., clicking a phone, i-pad, computer, or reader, we played. We played outside in the yard til dark; we played with things inside the house that didn't cost an 'arm and leg' for our parents. And guess what, we grew up just fine and have great 'degrees', jobs and families.
So when people call us 'old fashioned, out of the loop, and behind'....I just grin and think of all the things they missed in the 'good old days.!

Well, no clue if I wore onesies, but my 3 boys did. And they still do wear the pjs with the zipper in front and the feet built in during the winter months. They are my 8 year old's favorites! Which is kind of funny...
ReplyDeleteMy children wore them too, but as an adult, I never did...might be extra warm tho! lol
DeleteI have no recollection of every wearing a onesy. Seems like it would be inconvenient in the bathroom department. :) My memories are all of playing outside too. Luv ~:)
ReplyDeleteThat photo looks to be late 50s or early 60s. I'm going by the wallpaper and the lamp, more than the girls in their onesies. I never wore them, and don't ever remember it being a fad. I do agree that kids today have missed out on so much because of technology. Yes, they learn faster (perhaps) than we did, but we learned things they aren't learning at all....team work, respect, compassion. You can't get that from an iPad.
ReplyDeleteI wore onesies when I was a child. Oh how I understand where your coming from on this post. Blessings
ReplyDeleteOh yes - the good old days and the wonderful memories! No onesies for me either!
ReplyDeleteI think its sad when I look around and see the next generation glued to their cellular phones and gadgets. Thanks for sharing your memories, I always enjoy visiting your blog.
