Kids Visited Their Friends’ Houses Without Company
For many parents nowadays, getting their children to a play date requires extensive planning, and it may even require hiring a detective to ensure that the place or house is safe for the children to attend. The 1960s, on the other hand, were the years when you simply yelled out to Mom, “I’m going to so-and- so’s,” and then walked or rode your bicycle to your mate’s place alone. It was not necessary to schedule a time to see your closest friends because they lived in close proximity. The fact that you showed up and hung out, and maybe remained for supper, was enough for us.

Kids Chewed Sugary Gums
For many children growing up in the 1960s, sugary gum and sweets were an everyday treat. A huge deal was also made of blowing bubbles that were so large that they broke over your nose. Every now and again, the youngsters would compete in bubble blowing. It was just a matter of time before the bubble burst and you were back to square one. If you packed enough gum for other kids, it was not only acceptable but encouraged to smuggle it into school. You made lifelong friends this way. After then, there were cavities.
