   Hi Pamela,
   
   It's quite impressive at your age to still remember all of these memories with specific details!
   
   Nice reminiscing memories that seem just yesterday.
   
   We all have various stories when it comes to our 'firsts'.
   
   I enjoyed reading your response to the prompt.
   
   You wouldn't believe how bizarre youngsters nowadays do their year book, it can really get crazy and funny at times.
   
   Thank you for sharing those wonderful memories with us Pamela!
   
   Thank you also Chitrangada for sharing this on the discussions.

    Pamela has shared some interesting memories. They triggered me to thing about my own childhood. Time is a fascinating phenomenon that still holds mysteries.

    Pamela...
    I enjoyed your article, " Childhood Memories of Firsts."
    
    I loved getting a glimpse of your life in     
    
    "Firsts In My Youth."
    I remember those days when ee didn't have cell phones & we lived the best we could...but my parents always made sure we had what we needed.
    
    I didn't have my own bike until I was twelve...i had to use my older brothers.
    
    In "Memories" you tell us about taking a train ride at the age of twelve.
    We didn't even have passenger trains where we lived, but I highly doubt I could travel alone.
    What a great experience.
    
    It amazes me that people allow children to fly by themselves on airplanes.
    
    In "Frustrating Events in Grammar School" you share with us some terrible events that you endured.
    I can't believe a teacher would act like that...I'm sure your hair wasn't that bad.
    I have naturally curly hair & it tends to go with the weather.
    
    And that boy...he thought he was being cute, but it just shows how much he envied you.
    
    They can be so cruel when they like you...such as you found out with that first kiss.
    
    It sounds like you had several firsts...playing the clarinet & getting baptized.
    
    In "Life Changes" you tell us about having to change schools because your family moved.
    Having to make new friends & doing chores. 
    The tactic you learned turned out well for you.
    
    I think alot of children were  expected to babysit their brothers & sisters back in the day.
    
    Getting a job at sixteen seemed to be the thing to do.
    I was taught to pay for the things i wanted with my own money.
    
    I envy you for learning to sew clothes.  That sounds quite exciting.
    
    And going to the school dances..your first one at 16 yrs of age is awesome.
    I loved being able to dress up for those dances.
    
    I loved reading about some of your first while you were growing up.
    
    I'm glad this word prompt back those wonderful memories...even the one from the boy who ended up bring your first kiss.
    
    I'll post a link in the word prompt article.

    I am so gad you enjoyed my article of firsts Brenda. I agree that many children babysat, and we had responsibilities while growing up, which I think is a good thing. I was loved and we aways had enough to eat, etc.
    
    In the trip to see my uncle my parents watched me get on the train and my uncle was there to get me off. There was no change of trains in the middle of the trip. I remember looking out the train window wondering why ir was going so slow!
    
    It sounds like you were raised much like I was as you were taught to buy things with your own money also.
    
    Thanks you for your nice comments about my article Brenda.

       Yes.  I think we were raised quite alike.
       My family was not well to do.  We had a tap at the local grocery, the dentist, and the doctor.
       We didn't have health insurance.
       We shared family time together...unlike families today.
       Getting a job and earning our own money was taught to us at an early age...i used to babysit long before i started my first job at 16.
       
       Those were the good old days where children learned values.

    Pamela, your growing-up years sound somewhat like mine (we're about the same age, I think). So many of the things we did/were allowed to do as children would NEVER happen now. It shows how much life has changed. Thank you for sharing your memories with us.
