Oh wow, I remember that too!I can remember my mother washing my hair laying on my back on the kitchen counter with my head in the sink. I was probably 3.
Another memory that just popped up, is that there was an A&W in "the big town" (of 4500 people) about 15 miles from the farm. On special occasions dad would take us there. It must have been 1975 or 6 because my oldest brother was still with us and they all got the big glass mugs of root beer. I was 3 or 4 and I had to get the little baby mug...
