Cooking and baking with your parents. Or in Home Economics - and having a knack for it!

Comic books? You had to love them secretly, undercover! If anyone knew you read them - "nerd"!!

Oh, I was a nerd and still deal with a cadre of former nerds. I had some classics back in the day.

And I remember showing up for first day of 8th grade and finding out my mom had them put Typing on my schedule. I was embarrassed to no end. But that was the single most important class I took for my future success. Didn't have Home Ec but I learned to cook everything I enjoy eating since then.

I took typing the last semester of my senior year in High School and it proved out to be probably the most valuable class of everything I took in high school.

Not with us! We'd trade them and the kid that had the biggest collection was generally admired or envied. You's get your ass kicked if you stole someone's comic book back in the day where I lived! LOL!

When I was young, back in the late 1940s and through the early '50s, before normal people had TVs in their houses, comic books were one of our biggest evening or blizzard day entertainments. Almost all the kids read them - not just nerds.
