You Kids Think You Have it Tough Today...Back When I Was a


Oct 16, 2020, 8:26 AM

Kid we didn't just have some mysterious virus that was trying to kill us. We were being hunted by Blasting Caps. Sweet Baby Jane, there were hordes of kids walking around without body parts as these ubiquitous explosives were hiding everywhere. I remember having nightmares about these and asking my parents to buy me a bomb disposal suit for my birthday. Oh the Horror!

caps and old dynamite in a jumbled up storage area in one of my dad's old outbuildings when I was a teenager. Luckily, I knew what I was looking at, and VERY CAREFULLY backed out of there and left them alone.

No heat in the building and a crust of bread for lunch if you got in the 1/2 mile lunch line early. But, we did NOT complain.

pencil and paper. We had to tote a block of ice to school, take notes with a hammer and chisel, and run home and study before it melted.

I had it comparatively good. When I went to one of my friends house I only had to dodge one group of teenagers shooting bottle rockets at me as I went by. Of course they probably didn't like us chucking rocks at their truck when they were riding around so.....

Heck, that's nothing. I rode a bicycle without a helmet, drank through a garden hose, and ate a piece of birthday cake after somebody blew on it.

We had no video games, so we actually built tree houses and underground forts in our spare time. We had to light the forts with those black round kerosene "bombs" they used to have around road working projects (remember those)?
