The 60s were an awkward decade. Here are 21 things kids in the '60s will remember from their school days

1.
Playgrounds didn't have rubber padding and plastic. They were wooden and metal. You fell, you got up.
2.
They watched the original Mickey Mouse club
3.
These books were popular
4.
And the brownie book looks a lot different than they do now. If you can grab your mom's or grandmother's, it's worth a look and a laugh
5.
These were still popular, even back then
6.
Snack time cookies were probably a lot better than they are now
7.
And the kids back then had these desks that actually opened to store your stuff
8.
You know how you wonder WTF your grandma calls it a marks-a-alot? Who knew!?
9.
These things were all popular
10.
And their gym uniforms were one piece (that had to suck)
11.
Their skates were weird, these metal things fastened onto your shoes (and I can't imagine how they must have felt to skate on metal wheels)
12.
13.
Instead of active shooters, the kids were pretty sure they were getting nuked at any moment and this was their protection. They didn't suffer pTSD from these drills or nightmares.
14.
Mr Ed was still popular and watching these old shows is hysterical
15.
Another look at this horrific thing
16.
Record stores were the happenin places
17.
And these were breakfasts of champs
18.
The encyclopedia salesman came door to door and you suddently lost an entire shelf in your house
19.
Who knew this was a thing?
20.
Chalk holders because teachers had extra money back then
21.
And I think this was some sort of merry go round? Anyone know for sure?
