I used to do all the bike stuff further down without a helmet. I’m also sure the jumping off the roof was done while mom was a Walmart.

I once blew up my mother’s sewing machine with a cherry bomb. Honestly, I don’t know what I was thinking, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Probably, “I’m not wearing anymore of those patched pants and homemade shirts!”

My nephews threw a cherry bomb in the toilet. Fortunately, they had two bathrooms.

We lived just outside of Reno, Nevada

Snakes and Scorpions had to be out of the house by dinner time.

The rest we could keep for a day or so and then had to return them where we found them.

When I taught 2nd grade bilingual (only one year, the rest high school), I saw a just-killed fox on the side of the road. Stopped, picked it up, threw it in my car trunk and took it to school to show my students.

The students were ecstatic over getting to see a fox close up. Principal (female) rather unhappy and other teachers critical. Children lived it and will never forget the moment. I have a solution for the naysayers attitudes.

I take care of my 3 year old grandson once in a while to give my daughter and SIL a break and all I can say is perpetual motion.

At the close of my high school graduation ceremony, my mother came up to me, fixed my shirt collar, and then said, “Honest to God, I didn’t think you’d live long enough to graduate”.

When I was 10 I was fascinated with reptiles and would search for snakes all over the neighborhood. I put some of my prize snakes in a box I made for their home. The box fit under my bed out of sight of anyone and I thought it was just my secret. I did not take into account my mothers clean house passion and of course while I was at school she went to vacuum under my bed and found the box which she then proceeded to open. Of course the snakes immediately slithered out and my mother ran screaming to the neighbors and hysterically called my father at work. You would think I had murdered someone for all the punishment I received. Even my beloved Grandma called me “ worse than Peck's Bad Boy!, which I assumed must have been pretty bad. I never lived it down as my mother would still bring it up when she was in her 90’s.

Boys come in various flavors. I was the kind who took things apart to see how they worked, and then get it mostly put back together again with only a few left over parts.
