No kidding! I remember very tall (probably 20 feet) poles we could climb and then slide down. All the swings, teatherball poles, four-square surfaces were asphalt. Bandages were a badge of honor, after all.

We always had at least one kid per class with a black eye, or a sliver cap on a front tooth or a broken arm, the cast on which everyone rallied to sign.

We rode our bikes barefoot and without helmets too! the horror!

I didn't know you were in my class! :~)

Are lawn darts still legal? I haven't seen any kids playing with them for years.
