Lynn's Comments: If you aren't familiar with the old brassiere ad that described their product by saying, "it lifts and separates," then you'll miss this punch line. It was a controversial TV advertisement at the time and it spawned a lot of great comedy.

Lynn's Comments: When my brother and I were kids, our cousins came to stay for a few weeks. Rob and Josie shared our rooms, and within a few days we were at each other’s throats. Our cousins had gone through all of our stuff and we felt violated. From the cousins’ point of view, they were just looking around. We saw it differently!

Lynn's Comments: This also happened. My son decided to see how far a spool of dental floss would go. He strung the stairwell and the hallway and even the kitchen before he ran out of floss. I would have been angry, but it’s hard to give serious discipline when you’re laughing!

Lynn's Comments: We didn’t have a clothes drier when I was a kid. Everyone put their laundry outside on clotheslines. Apparently, the neighbours really did look at your laundry and made judgments because my mom always put the best sheets and towels on the top line where they could be seen. Everything else was hidden or hung in the basement.
