For most kids-
Their blackboard
Was their sidewalk
When I was growing up.

We would draw
And doodle
Write who we loved
Or better yet who we hated

Kids were kids-
We pretty much
Got along
Boys and girls

We always played
Hopscotch
Only had white chalk
Skyblue...

True and that chaulk usually came from the school, small pieces that the teachers gave to us.

Yes and a lot of times where I lived there weren't even sidewalks so we parked on the pavement and chalk was usually pieces of old gypsum board used in housing projects.
