What sort of dangerous things did you do when you were a kid. Things that would make you go nuts now, if your kids did them?
We used to break open thermometers to get the mercury out. We rolled it around in our hands, on the tabel and such. We took nickels and rubbed it on them to make them bright and shiny.
I lived in the south. We had a truck that had a DDT sprayer machine on it that created a fog of DDT to combat mosquitoes (skeeters). We thought it was wonderful and ran around playing in that fog. The Fog Machine Is Coming!!!
Yipee?
Of course there were the bicycles that we rode a gazillion miles an hour with....da da...no helmets?? I don't know how we made it through that!
The taller the tree to climb, the better. Sometimes you would go so high it would scare the heck out of you but you never let on to that!
What about you? What absolutely, stupidly, dangerous things did you do.
