When I was a little girl, I use to use the next door neighbors fence to crawl up on the roof of our garage....Until one day my mother saw me up there....geez, kids do the darnest things....raised 5 and the stories I could tell.....like most parents we just pray they survive childhood. Thats how kids learn and act.. I loved climbing trees also, out of sight of my mom.
I, too, was a tree climber. One day I was at the top of a fifty foot tree in the backyard, swaying back and forth. It was a thrill until a neighbor lady saw me through her kitchen window and called my mom.
These kids are pretty young and many YUPPIES have two story homes now days.
Look for the youtube just posted and see that these weren't average kids.
I was up on roofs all the time, myself... house, barn, shed, chicken coops, etc... At 6yo, no... but at 8yo, I was all over trees... climbing from tree to tree, swinging from one to the other through the branches. Just like my brothers, sisters and neighbors.
Obviously we weren’t city kids...
