Back-In-The-Day

We're watching The Music Man in my 3rd grade Drama class. They've just watched when someone asks for a drink and goes out to the well to pump some water. One student asks "Did they really have to do that?" Just before I can answer, another student pipes up "Yeah...back in the day they did....Mrs. Prouty, did you know I used to live back-in-the-day in an old haunted house? It's from when John Wayne and his people used to go through there. Well, I saw the well they used to drink water from. That's how I know."
