I remember when every boy had a chipped front tooth; I remember my mother letting me drink a little beer and lots of coffee (with rich milk and sugar) when I was a kid; I remember when the milk man would occasionally deliver wonderful, powdered doughnuts with a high fat content; I remember lighting fire crackers in my hand first and then throwing them and once digging out a tire from a disgusting pond and then hanging it on a tree and swinging from it...

How I miss those awful, dangerous old days.

I had my first cup of undiluted real tea at age 10

Meaning it wasnt flooded with milk

But you didn’t sit on your butt playing video games and/or texting all day; bet you were out getting lots of exercise riding your bike and running around.

We must be related. LOL It was the same for me -- a little beer and lots of coffee. Once I got to be really special when my mother let me take that (lots of sugar and milk) coffee to school in a thermos. I was in first grade!

Did you also try tasting a tiny bit of dirt like we did?
