***Any other examples?***
Riding horses with no saddle, falling off, getting back on.
BB gun fights. We didn’t put our eye out. (almost did when I was hit with a home made arrow 1/2 inch below the left pupil).
Drinking from a farm pond. No filter.
Playing with and getting seriously bit by a “tame” raccoon.
Rock fights with neighbor kids. (Friends on Monday Wednesday and Saturday, rick fights in between)
Winter snow ball fights with rocks inside (We fought back by putting cactus inside our snow balls).
Building and falling out of tree “houses” ( more like a tree stand today).
Gun fights with cork guns. (Almost did put out an eye with that one!)
Riding in my little read wagon down a steep road. Lucky no cars were coming.
Swimming in a algae green farm pond. No lifeguard.
Eating wild blackberries without washing.
Buying a box of 50 .22 Shorts for 45 cents at the age of 14. Now must wait till 21 to buy.
Way too many more to mention.
“Playing with and getting seriously bit by a “tame” raccoon.”
damn I’m busting up Ruy
We brought the entire raccoon family to school for show and tell.
I also remember the rock fights. Those really got the adrenaline going!
I nearly burned down our outhouse by dropping matches on the piles! Had to rush in some pails of water for that one!
