Пирожок с повидлом - ну разве не чудо?...

Jam pie - isn’t it a miracle? You will never guess which side of the jam will come out! Another inexplicable miracle - please raise your hands to those who had a normal teacher of labor ... and not an alien? And such a miracle, a string bag with meat behind a window leaf? Remember: climbed to get - dumplings fell! But this wonderful mother’s divorce: “I’m buying you now, but this is for your birthday” ?! Or this magical grandmother’s goodbye phrase: “Only return the cans!” Do you remember the ZIL refrigerator, with such a handle? This is one-armed bandit! You pull the handle - banks pour in. And by the way, what still lies in the fridges on the side door? No, not eggs. And not ketchup. On the side door are ... medicines! Free medicine is also a miracle. There is one doctor, and two queues - one for coupons and the second for appointments. And the third one was - “I will only ask!” Yes, how many more were there, these wonders of the world ... A small window from the kitchen to the bathroom - what is there to watch, explain? A shoe spoon-horse ... Tooth powder - cleans both teeth and silver ... Manneken Pis on the toilet door ... Rubin TV - take pliers and tyn-tyn-tyn! Swimming trunks with an anchor ... remember ?! Milk in triangular bags! And you say: “Seven wonders of the world!” We used to do a lot of things such that now it’s not even a mind to do. Moreover, if you do at least once today what you did all the time, they won’t understand you, but they can take you for a madman. Well, for example, remember, soda machines. There was still a faceted glass - one for all. Today, it would never occur to anyone to drink from a common glass! (Today, it will be stolen five seconds after the machine was installed, exactly three seconds before the machine itself is dragged away ...) But before, everyone drank from these glasses ... It's common! And no one was afraid to catch any infection ... By the way, these glasses were used by local drunks for their affairs. And, imagine, you just imagine it - they RETURNED the glass into place! Do not believe? And then - the usual thing! And people hanging a sheet on the wall, turning off the lights and muttering something under their breath in the dark? Sect? No, the usual thing! Previously, in every house there was a ceremony called - hold your breath - filmstrip! Remember this miracle ?! Who runs the filmstrip projector now? Smoke blows, a pungent smell throughout the apartment. Such a tablet with inscriptions. What do you think? Indian great priest Aramonetrigal? In fact, this is a survival. The usual thing! Millions of Soviet children burned cards for mothers on March 8 - Mommy, congratulations on International Women's Day. I wish you a peaceful sky above your head, and your son a bicycle ... And still everyone was sitting in the bathroom, and on the lowered chair, and in the dark - and only the red lamp shone there ... Guess? A common thing - they printed photos. Our whole life in these black-and-white photographs, printed with our own hands, and not with the soulless uncle from Kodak ... Well, do you remember what fixer is? Girls, do you remember the rubber bands? Surprisingly, not a single boy in the world knows the rules of this game! And the collection of waste paper in school? Still tormented by the question - why? But then I took all my dad's Playboy archive there. And I had nothing for it! Only my mother wondered why this father had so meticulously checked my homework ?! Do you remember portraits of Gorbachev without a birthmark? Unusually ... But we still remember how Jackson was a black man, and even a minor! Then it was - a common thing! In general, a lot of this was unusual: trips to potatoes and diluted beer (not, well, it was delicious!). Yes, we were very unusual people!
