Hmm I like this topic on quiet snow storm and came up with simple list of funny thiongs I would see long time ago, mostly around outdoors. None are overly done but all together made my youth time period very unique.

* Parents followed advice from famous columnists like Ann Landers, who said that letting kids be bare satisfied their curiosity and made them more confident. Moms loved the "bare summer" because it meant they didn't have to wash mountains of salty, sandy, or stained clothes every single day.


* If the 6-, 8-, and 15-year-old boys were playing bare, the girls felt totally comfortable doing the same. Being the only clothed person in a "bare pack" would have actually made a girl feel more "exposed" and out of place.

* Kids got a pass riding to lake nude. Groups of kids rode their "banana seat" bikes five miles to the lake. They went slow to stay cool and used the breeze to dry off their skin. They draped towel often for the heat.

* Girls around age 12 usually wore an oversized T-shirt with nothing underneath for riding bikes or transistion from beach to car often. Girsl often owned one nylon one piece suit she needed for public pools but boy did not.

* Many boys went nude at beach by default, but mom would dictate if girl could too. The logic was that if everyone was in the same state, nudity became boring and no one felt self-conscious.

* In the beach washroom, the sister or mother would often have to help the younger boys use the urinal before the long ride home. She would casually help the 6- or 8-year-old aim properly to make sure he didn't splash his legs or the floor.

I remember two things...

After bath time I had option to wear breifs or sleep nude. Other boys on street did same thing. But what I remember more is after school and in summer, clothing was mostly optional for kids. I would play in backyard and nearby pool naked all summer and niever be concerned who saw me.
