Where the hell did I put that old bucket lid?

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, for reference sake, it was a metal bucket? Right?

I raise that point because it would be considered child abuse these days to let your kid play with a (rusting?) metal bucket lid. But we somehow survived those days and kids knew their place and treated elders with respect.

Yes it was metal. When I was a kid plastic hadn’t been invented yet. It hadn’t been long that the wheel had been invented. My Pa was working on the doughnut hole along those days but someone else beat him to the draw so he started studying the wind but mostly the wind he studied was what was coming from Ma’s lungs as she was screaming at him to get up off his dead a$$ and get something done.
