LISTEN: Do You Remember Mimeograph Machines?
Oooo that smell!
Long before this site, I had a little blog where I posted for 11 years. It was the genesis of Living in the Past on Substack. For many years, I lived in the past over at Multiple Mayhem Mamma. From a Parenting lens, I looked at the "then and now” and even hosted a podcast by the same name: Parenting Then and Now. Every so often I’ll post some of these classics from early days. Enjoy!
What’s that smell?
They were smelly. They were messy. They were cumbersome.
And yet, they were the only way that kids in previous decades got their printouts in class.
If you are a person of “a certain age,” that smell will bring you back to happier times and memories of messy ink that would cover your skin and clothing after picking up a mimeographed printout.
Listen here for a trip down memory lane.
