Ha, we used to play Army with all sorts of weapons for kids. Occasional chipped tooth or a pellet to the foot, pop gun full of mud to the face, tree forts( not to code). What the heck happened? ( Rural California)

Did you take advantage of learning to ride your bike with no hands like we did?

Everyone grab your dad’s safety goggles, mount up and have a big mobile “cavalry war” shooting each other with bb guns from our bikes riding all over the neighborhood.

And if a window got shot, oh well, that’s what summer mowing jobs were for.

I remember all our parents’ attitude was “if you didn’t want to get hurt, you shouldn’t have played”.
