...and cousins! Lots of cousins. I have 8 mm reels of film of some of our birthday parties. The grown-ups drank and ate peanuts. They would put on some music
and the kids would dance; what we now call fondly "the jump-around."

Back then, it was "children should be seen and not heard." We loved it. When a grown-up talked to you, it was interfering with play time, and always carried the danger that you could get in trouble for something.
