It's funny when people yell about kids being on IPads and phones, when they played video games and watched TV all day when they were kids. Or even better, just go outside and play with your friends. Do you remember what we did outside with our friends? Here's my list:
Set fires, lots of them.
Climbed around in culverts
Vandalized
Found porn in the woods
Trespassed
Jumped out of barn lofts
Tried not to get gored by bulls
Cow pattie fights
Ran the hose for hours and turned my brother onto Swamp Thing by covering him with mud and leaves
Using firecrackers inserted into any suitable hole to blow things apart
Being pursued by guard dogs through the grounds of a local boarding school in order to cut 0.003 seconds off our route home at night
Infiltrating the porn-woods base of the older kids to steal their cider
Being shot in the arse with rock salt while trespassing
Finding out why Jo always had money when her parents were skint (hint: it involved those cider-purchasing older kids)
@Hedgewizard
