[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Growing up, my family put the gong on the porch. And my mom would hit it to announce it was time for us to come home for dinner. Everybody in the neighborhood knew this. So if we were out of earshot, if another kid in the neighborhood heard it they would tell me hey you got to go home. I had forgotten about that until this thread. I have not thought about that for years. I am in my mid-50s.[/quote] My mother did this as well but with a metal bell. We have 7 kids in the family (kids, the youngest is now 56). My parents also put a doorbell in the kitchen so they wouldn't have to yell upstairs to talk to us. We each had our own signal, mine was a short and a long. One extra long ring meant everyone had to come down. It was great, my parents hardly went upstairs. [/quote]
