NO KIDDING!!!
The best times, as a kid, were all doing stuff that was fine back then, and would have a kid arrested nowadays, and taken from his parents. Black powder, toilet paper tubes and black electrical tape. Good stuff! Bags of cement. Fertilizer. I spent most of my money in the Country Hardware Store, and mom gave me a ride!
Do you know of any kids who could get away with riding their motorcycle down the street with a rifle over their shoulder? Damn, nowadays they get locked up for not wearing a helmet on a bike!
It was never a big deal for me to carry matches, or a lighter as a kid, so i could make fires to cook the fish I caught for lunch.
Yeah, *sigh*
