And now your ankles would be all screwed up!
Actually, I agree that you need to do things as a kid that put the fear of God in you at an early age. Oh, the stories my grandfather me about his childhood...
But he had a great childhood experience and there were no heelies involved :p:
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Remember wood burners and Xacto knives?
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Not to mention sharp leather-working tools, dangerous chemistry sets, and my favorite: candy cigarettes!
When my kids were little, I slowly began to realize that our parents must have hated our generation. It first dawned on me when I took my boys to one of those pay-to-enter indoor playgrounds.
Everything was padded with several inches of foam. And what did we have as kids?
Monkey bars over concrete!

It's all Ralph Nader's fault. If it wasn't for him we could still be driving our Corvair's to the park to play Lawn Darts..
Not that I'm bitter or anything..

I still have Lawn Darts-the real ones with sharp little points. Does that make me a bad parent?

Depends -- are they used for recreation or punishment? :twisted:

i would give my left arm for a set of Jarts!!! I'm not sure how my brothers and sisters and i survived childhood with our sight after having such a practicle playtoy!! Nothing like 10 pounds of sharp metal with easily broken "wings" that create other sharp impact points to keep the kids occupied!!!!
We loved our Jarts!! I really would like to know what rocket scientist designed that toy though..

Those were great! I remember the neighborhood snitch ratting me out to my parents for smoking. When my mom asked what the deal was, I offered her a candy butt. She thought it was funny.
How many stink bombs did you make with your chemistry set?
Did you ever get concentrated cinnamon oil and soak toothpicks in it? We bought it at the local pharmacy. They finally stopped selling it to kids when some parent complained their kid dropped some on the floor and it ate a hole through the linoleum tile.

And be gentle with the cats, please. I was at a pet store getting supplies for T'Kirr's new friend (an anole that climbed her leg yesterday), and there was a cat that was labeled "free with kit". I SO wanted to get the kit and take the cat home.
I like cats. But they don't have pouches.
