Prof Quiz : The Way Things Were: Did you grow up with rotary phones, party lines and front porch sayings? 270 questions and answers where Mom and Dad f
Overview
Did you grow up with this? Then dinner is about to get loud.
It is the gift for Mom or Dad, or for anybody who still knows every word of the old jingles: they open it at the table, somebody reads a question out loud, and for once Mom and Dad know the answer before the kids do.
Inside are 270 questions and answers about the way things were: the stuff in every kitchen back then, the sayings Mom and Dad always said, the shows everybody watched, the songs on the radio, the jingles, the toys, the cars, the prices.
Every question is multiple choice, with three options. Each answer comes with a short explanation, so you know who got it right, and why.
Here are a few, from the book:
- Back in grade school, the teacher handed out worksheets still damp from the copy machine. What color was the ink?
- What did a lot of cooks keep in a coffee can right next to the stove?
- Finish the saying: "Don't make me turn this car..."
- At a drive-in restaurant, what did the waitress on skates hook onto your car window?
The questions are grouped into rounds. The answers are at the end of each round, on a separate page. One reads, the others answer, and you keep score. The kids swear they know it all. Grandpa just smiles. We will see.
This book is for:
- a gift for a parent or grandparent, one they open at the table and play right away, Christmas or not
- family dinners where the phones come out and nobody knows what to do together
- anybody who grew up with a rotary phone, or even a party line
Open it anywhere: a round tonight, another one on Sunday, and there are always more questions.
So, who at your table knows how it was back then? With 270 questions, there is plenty of time to find out.
