We made puppets with our hands and feet<\/p>\n
We had a Christian cemetery for dead birds<\/p>\n
We wrote plays to be performed in the basement<\/p>\n
We had The Apple Lovers Club without apples<\/p>\n
We believed in Santa despite being Jewish<\/p>\n

We had a backyard army tent no parents allowed<\/p>\n
We wore ponytails pedal pushers and Keds<\/p>\n
We smoked Marlboros down by the brook<\/p>\n
We watched Vincent Price scary movies<\/p>\n
We never had a telephone in our bedroom<\/p>\n
We went to the little green store for Yoo-hoos<\/p>\n
We understood that we were on the same team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
