Funny thing about that is that bathing only became common practice in the 1950s. :laughing:

Can't even imagine how people smelled before then.

My gran grew up in the 1940s/50s and her parents didn't have running water or electricity until she was about 10 years old. Her and her siblings shared the bathwater (she had 3 sisters and 4 brothers - she was the baby) in order of age. The water was fetched from the creek. Granted, they did live on a farm, but I assume people who lived in town didn't have it much better.

She was also put to work, just the same as her siblings. She has this wonderful story about a time when her brother let a headless chicken chase her around the farm for a good while. :laughing:

As a newborn they slice the large tube sticking out of your belly button that's been feeding you for nine months. A little extra off the end of your weenie is no big deal.

This thread is a mind blower.
