Ok first of all some idiot posted this about 1957 a few weeks ago.

Secondly considering that I was in 2nd/3rd grade in 1977 I know Johnny is full of shit.

Someone posted this not long ago, and it is so true on most of it.

How many times will this be posted?

Until people realize that that Leave it to Beaver and The Brady Bunch were Tv shows not reality.

:2 cents:

It is actually quite true. I was in the 2nd grade in 77 and things were a lot different back then.
