I feel a very funny story coming on... I think we need more info Robbie!

lol... reading through this post put a smile onto my face... what flash back.

-dropping firecrackers from a bridge onto motorcyclists is not a good idea.
-watching your favorite movie at 4am in rewind and playing it endlessly.
-patrolling traffic while your father is on the phone at the age of 5.
-snowforts can cave in on you.
-Playing endless hours of video games can give you thumb cramps.
-lighting the woods on fire and saying I didn't do it I swear it was my brother.
-having your sister die your hair bad idea!!!....
-slidding behind a station wagon on a lake in the middle of winter.
-playing at the park for competitive long jumps from the swings.
-swimming at the pool and staring at the hot female life gaurd mmmmm....

lol... the list could go on and on for me... this one made me crack up have a good one guys

"Because I said so" seems like corrupt use of power to a 9-yo.

"Because I said so" seems like valid use of parental authority to a 48-yo.

Puting a Tomcat in a mail box and puting up the flag. Will cause the Mailman to abandon his vehicle temporaly.

LOL!!!

This was hysterical! Someone should make a book out of this! It was just what I needed to lighten up! Here's my hard learned lesson:

Jousting, though always a bad idea, is an even worse idea on a bicycle with a broomstick!

Paper armor when jousting on a bicycle with a broomstick just flies up in your face so you can't see and does nothing to protect you after that happens!

It's amazing we lived to see puberty isn't it? Wait...I still haven't made it to puberty...never mind.

Jousting with broomsticks and bicycles? Hmmmm. How the heck did I ever miss-out on that one? Sht!!! I want a re-run!!!

If any of you ever tell my kids about this, please warn me so I can rush to build some good armor (for me)

I wonder what the neighbors will think when the see us jousting in the street.

... just how hard your head has to hit the ice to get a concussion when you are trying to see who can ride their ten speed the farthest across a frozen pond.

... that barn owls sleep during the day and don't like it when you climb up the wall of the barn to poke them with a stick to see if they are alive.

... that if you are far enough away you can dodge arrows being fired at you from the roof of your house by your little brother.

... that when seeing who can jump from the highest stair step to make sure you have head clearance.

... that some of the best times you have with your best friend can be riding your bikes in the country by the full moon from town to town till the wee hours of the morning.

Probably something like what they thought when they saw us: "I am NOT letting my kids play with those kids!" lol

I just thought of another one:

That even if your mom WASN'T a hippie in the 60s she STILL won't believe you that it's a sandwich bag full of bulk herbal tea from the health food store.

(I guess the joint in there with it was kind of a give-away.)

That the effects of even the most hellacious marijuana will not mitigate the effects of the most hellacious ass- whipping.

That even the effects of the most hellacious ass-whipping would not deter a hippie kid like me from again smoking the most hellacious marijuana.

Let the good times roll!

Dirt balls are the summer equivalent to snowballs -- and just as fun to hit your friend with!

If a friend of your Mom comes through your checkout at the supermarket, and you tell her your parents are on vacation, and then you turn to her daughter and ask if she wants to come over that evening for burgers and the new Jefferson Airplane album, chances are that your parents will find out.
