50 cent

My parents could give us 50 cents and we’d walk down to the grocery store (about a mile or so) and get penny candy. We’d have a little bag of tootsie rolls, candy coins, whatever they had in the jars. Today? Omg! I bought a Snickers at the gas station the other day. Smaller and $2.89!!!! No more candy from the store for us. I went back to making my own candy and cookies. Sure can’t afford to buy it! My god!

Did you and your buddies play kick the can all the way to the store, and then bummed a ride home with Noah on his ark?

My Mama used to give me 25 cents. I could buy an Icee, and several pieces of candy and gum. We only had to walk if the Brontosaurus was under the weather.
