On a hot summer day, nobody bothered going inside for a glass.Some schools had kids swish fluoride together and spit into paper cups.Getting your scalp inspected in front of the whole class was just part of school.Carrying an egg everywhere for a week was supposed to teach responsibility.Throwing balls at each other as hard as possible was an official school activity.Holding onto one long rope with your classmates was how little kids crossed the street.Some old children’s TV puppets were more nightmare fuel than entertainment.Those purple-ink copies had a smell kids couldn’t resist.Posing in front of neon lasers made every school photo look like a sci-fi movie poster.Inviting a face-painted stranger to entertain little kids was somehow totally normal.A tiny fairy sneaking into your room to buy your old teeth sounds strange when you say it out loud.
