at first glance, he doesn't look like he could hurt much...but imagine getting one of these, being told "Don't break him because that stuff inside will get all over the place!", then tying one of his arms to a door knob and the other to the bed post , closing the door, breaking the arm, getting the stuff inside all over the place, your mom seeing it and using the really long,streched out, broken off arm to spank you with...that shit hurts! spank


I cut mine with a scissor to see.

How sick is the pic at the bottom of that box? lol

Jesus, after not being able to ride the Big Wheel due to sidewalk ass draggage, my mom graduated me to this lovely (sturdier!) vehicle.

I never fully mastered it and just went round and round in circles. mad

It does look confusing to ride. The handles remind me of these..

Totally, my brother and I had a bright yellow one!

And the playground equipment was all metal slides that got sizzling hot in the summer sun, merry-go-rounds that routinely sent kids flying face-first into the sand, and rusty metal chains on the swings that would cut into your hands. lol


You forgot the see-saws that actually moved more than 3 inches up and down... And occasionally broke your leg.

But what's fun without a little danger?

I remember opening and flattening out cardboard (moving or appliance) boxes over peoples' steep driveways and covering them with baby powder. Then we'd get a runnin start and slide down them wearing just our socks.

What morons.


My brother and I would sit on pillows and slide down the stairs. Or pile blankets at the bottom of the stairs and just fucking jump off. lol

Where was my mother during all of this?

confuse


we used to ride pieces of cardboard down the stairs..

where were the parents??
eek

I fell off one of these,and ended up being stuck under it.Nobody noticed that I was under it,and just kept it spinning. neutral



We used to play these at my grandmothers house,but we never had any accidents. Always made sure everyone was cleared out of the way before anyone threw it. lol
