Yup, did all those things on the list except having a real gun (we did have cap guns with those little strips that popped) and walking to school alone (only because I had a twin sister who walked with me). And it was that sister who jumped off the roof (it was only a little one story one over the porch) — it was when we put on a neighborhood skit and she was the Wicked Witch and that’s how we made her dramatically “appear” out of thin air!)
When I was 8 years old I jumped off the garage with an umbrella thinking that it would work like a parachute.
