You have to be 40 or older to understand this letter, for that's when it's alright for grown folks to send kids to the corner store to get their smokes and libations.

At Home In the Words I write...I've missed Blogging

These days of Summer are sweet and fleeting. I've been away too long. Away
from this blog. This holy place where I live on the words I conjure.
So much goo...

This is so true...I remember being sent to the store as a preteen for cigarettes and beer; no problem. Today, I have to show my ID to buy cigarettes and I'm 46 yo. LOL
ReplyDeleteYes. You have to be in your 40s to remember that.
DeleteHa! I am old enough to remember notes like that & going to the corner store.
ReplyDeleteWe would go get what's on that list, and bring it straight back, too. These kids these days, though. That would be a problem.
DeleteI remember those notes ... I would walk with my friend and her sisters to the store for her dad. He would send a note, cash and the food stamp booklet. The paper food stamps brown, green and purple.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha! I remember the paper food stamp booklet!
DeleteI understand! My Dad used to send me into the store while he sat in the car to get his PalMalls Golds.
ReplyDeleteMy aunt in Beaumont would send us to the store for various things, sending a note when we were really small. We had to bring back her change.
You just reminded me of good times!
You know I know nothing about this. But the letter did make me laugh.
