What Did You Get To Do Growing Up That Your Kids Will Never Be Able To?
Along with all else that's been mentioned......
*Disappear from nearly sun-up to sun-down during summertime.
*Climb up on our back fence and walk down it, and jump into anyone's yard without worrying about getting blown away.
*Shoot off my friend's grandfather's gun collection on New Year's Eve (and we shot at streetlights from a distance, if you can believe how anyone could be so idiotic)
*Buying cigarettes with just a note from my dad.
*Our favorite: entering abandoned and boarded-up buildings just to check them out!.....mostly old businesses.
*Growing a "secret garden" in our family's backyard. :)
*Stealing alcohol from mine and my friend's parents liquor cabinets.
*Destroying things on a massive scale.
*Playing with fire and gasoline and rocket engines.
*Taking off on my dirtbike, alone.....never told parents anything....and off on a 30-mile bike ride with no helmet or cellphone.
