The Innocent Mischief We Used to Get Up To

They might not have been reasons for mom to get out the wooden spoon, but these were the types of mischief we got into back in the Good Old Days. They seem innocent compared to the things you hear about these days, but we had the most fun!

“Saving” Your Lollipop for Later

Reading with a Flashlight Under the Covers

It was so much fun to stay up and read Nancy Drew or the Box Car Children with a flashlight under the covers at night. But, somehow we always got caught!

Breaking a Window By Accident

This was no small matter, but it was bound to happen since the neighborhood kids played ball in the street on a regular basis.
