Shooting arrow straight up in the air,done that, have the scars to prove it. Played "war" with BB guns,done that, still have both eyes working fine <whew> Playing "mummy peg" with knife and fingers, <sighs> yes have scars to prove that too. Jumped off house roofs to play "Stunt Man" survived with just a sprained ankles, no broken bones. < another whew>
Now as an adult I realize the fun I had as a child experimenting with life. As a Farther of 4 boys, I now sit back and cringe over the things they are doing. Riding skateboards down a 1/4 mile hill road. Jumping off bridges 15 ft over water. I just hope they survive with minimum injuries. We do not have video games in our house, and limited TV watching. Life is a one time deal, make the most fun you can cause there is no "do overs" in life.
Boys are great aren't they.
I looked out the window a few weeks ago and watched my son riding his four wheeler pulling his friend down the road on a skateboard about 30 mph. My wife says are you gonna say something to them. I said yes. I opened the front door, yell to them to replace the wheel bearing grease in the skateboard wheels with a thicker grade if they're gonna go those speeds and closed the door....my wife looked at me like I had a hole in my head and was speechless. I don't know why. You can really burn little wheel bearing up quick with high speeds thin grease.
