I'd posted this in the forums on Etsy and thought I'd share it here, too:

If you remembered 0-5 = You're still young
If you remembered 6-10 = You are getting older
If you remembered 11-15 = Don't tell your age,
If you remembered 16-25 = You're older than dirt !
I might be older than dirt but those memories are the best part of my life.

My score is between 10 and 12. The neighbors had their milk delivered by a uniformed man in a big white truck. The bottle were glass. Don't remember about the cardboard. I was envious because we had to make our milk from a powdered mix.
I'm too young to have watched Howdy Doody. My brother and I loved the candy cigarettes and blowing the fake smoke. My first pair of skates were metal clamp-ons with the key. They pinched so bad.
