Hey it worked right! Now days instead of discipline we just get law enforcement involved and get em in the system. Maybe kick em out of school for bringing a toy gun or a knife to school. I would have wound up in prison by today's standards for the crap we pulled.
I've been known to go the extra mile, to teach my kids a lesson, but giving yourself a "Stinky Pinky" sure isn't one. Hats off to your unique ways. Dry cleaning, then bleach.
It was ivory soap on me. When that didn't work, out came the skinny leather belt, or whatever kitchen utensil was nearest. I hated those belts. But, I wouldn't cry, or make a noise, and give her the satisfaction. I guess that's why I got double what my older brother got.
I got a little off topic. We had yo yo's of course, silly putty, superballs and I remember one thing it was these 2 plastic balls on string that you banged back and forth, what were they called? Clackers or something like that. Boy you could get a bruise from those .
Big thing was the old cherry bomb in the toilet trick. Should have had my ass kicked for that one. Nowadays I would probably be enjoying a vacation in Guantanamo for that trick.. Waxing a bit nostalgic ya know...
Anyway who did late night drag racing on old country roads? That was illegal as hell but the cops would usually give you a pass as long as you weren't aggro with them.
Clicker Clackers. Had them. Great fun, unless you lost an eye. I still have my old "Lawn Jarts", from when I was a kid.
It's a wonder we survived all that stuff. Or at least I survived. As stupid as things were I think in some strange way it made me smarter?
Yeah. Before it became a thing, wasn’t it sort of a scavenger hunt to get outdoorsman to venture to really difficult to reach places?
Had it happen to me once. And when I put up a fuss about it, and wouldn’t let Grandma finish, Grandpa blistered my behind instead. Shoulda ate the soap.
Im still a fairly young tike around these parts, but the lingo gets me. For example "fam" "dat" "thot" "bae"..... the list goes on. Sure humans have abbreviated things for many years, but at least use an abbreviation for something that doesnt take 30 minutes to figure out.....
Oh wow the list is extensive. 1. Men in tight jeans and long dress length T shirts Not a good look for any male frame 2. Nasty bushy beards especially when combined with number 1. 3. Sagging pants it’s been 25 years already can this trend just die no one wants to see that. Seriously 10/10 people aren’t interested 4. The bro look Khaki shorts with a long sleeve dress shirt and boat shoes with long socks 5. Cuffed pant legs and joggers 6. Tapout shirts or Ed Hardy or affliction we get it you work out. On a side note I’m only 32 but I think I’m getting old or I just have some class either way I view style as a costume for the parts people want to play in their word and I can’t figure out why anyone would want to play these parts.
