Families did bizarre things, like all eat dinner together at the same time, and they all ate the same thing. Peanut allergies in particular were unknown among children.
Just about everyone in school then actually learned to read.
Actually, some people made it thru without any drugs or sex.
I was a boring teen.
"All eat dinner together"
In Texas, "Dinner" was still "Supper" and "Dinner" was the noon meal. It still is in small towns and rural areas and many still use those terms in the larger cities.
Peanut allergies were unknown because all the small children that had them died early of a suspected jelly allergies.
