SHARING A BEDROOM AS A CHILD

My brother & I shared a bedroom from the time he was born till I reached puberty. Oh, how I disliked sharing a room with a bratty bro...lol (remember? he like punching me). You know that saying:"Out of sight, out of mind!!!". Boy oh boy, he sure liked that, the taunting behind closed doors....grrrrrrr.

I never played in our room. No sooner I'd go in there to listen to the transistor radio, bratty would follow. I had no privacy what-so-ever.


Every now and again, Dad would let me have the keys to the wagon so that I could listen to the radio station which carried my favorite tunes...like "Henry the Eighth I am I am", "Hey, Jude", "Jail House Rock", well almost everything from the Herman's Hermits, Elvis, & the Beatles...woohoo. Can you picture me in this small wagon, music blarring and me just a singing and bopping away.......lmbo.

Oh what good times those were......until.......you guess it, the battery died!!!!! That's why I only got the keys every now again......boohoo!!!!

I love those songs! This brought back great musical memories! Thank goodness I didn't have a bratty baby brother.

How fun that your Dad would give you the keys! At least you got SOME alone time! What a great memory!
