Pictures That Only A Baby Boomer Will Understand

By Brad Rosenberg

8 years ago

The Playgrounds were VERY Different:  At recess, we’d swing from the monkey bars with wild abandon and often even stand on the swings and go as high as possible.  And still, we survived

TV Had “Sign Off” Messages.  Remember these?  TV would go off at midnight and sometimes even go as far as playing the National Anthem all night.

Just One Hula Hoop Wasn’t Enough:  Some of us could do multiple at a time!

We didn’t Text, But We Did Pass Notes!  And we were experts at not getting caught!

We Had Xylophones That We Kept on a Pull String.  That’s right – there was nothing like the Pull a Tune!

 We Got Bottled Cokes and Loved Them:    THat’s right – no cans or plastic bottles back then.  We were 100% excited when we’d find a cooler like this to get that ice cold bottle!

What did we miss? Tell us in the comments section below. If you liked the story, be sure to share it!
