I remember when I was the youngest sibling; it was my job to take the VHS out and put it in the Re-Winder before it went back in case. Especially when they were rented…. from the grocery store.
My Nana got me some new HitClips from Kaufman’s. I had a blast listening to them while trading Jelly Bracelets. By the way, does your sister still want my old Sky Dancers?
Running around by myself as a kid, staying out until it got dark, walking to the park near my grandparents house or to the little store by myself as a little girl. My kids were all able to this when we visited my parents as my parents lived in a teeny tiny town with a population of -100 people.
I kinda miss having to change the channel of a TV using a wrench, good times when things fell apart, but still worked with the right tools.
