Subject: Remembering the good old days

A man was cleaning out his grandmother's house and he
found an old Royal Crown Cola bottle. In the bottle top
was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it. I would know know
immediately what it was, but my daughter would have no idea. She would think they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something. I would know it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to "sprinkle" clothes with because we didn't have steam irons at one time. Heck my daughter might wonder what an iron is! Man, am I old?
