What an awesome post -- it really brings back a lot of childhood memories.
1) I don't remember this one, but my Dad says he was working on the roof of my grandmother's two-story house and I climbed up when I was about 3 years old and ran around up there all day. Nowadays, heights scare me. ;-)
2) We used to have an old swimming hole out back. Since we had no swim wear we'd just get nekkid and jump in. And yes, there were leaches. Ow, they have sharp little teeth. :-)
3) My gramma used to have a cow that she would milk and she would feed me cream right out of the bucket. Oh, would Louis Pasteur roll around in his grave.
4) This is a bad one which I would NEVER let kids do these days, but I used to play with a 22 caliber rifle when I was 5 years old. I was not even strong enough to aim it - I would have to rest the barrel on a fence. Strangely enough, I understood the consequences and never goofed off with it.
I've never really given it much thought, but boy have times changed! I'm glad you posted this, Shell.
Warm regards,
Evil Cats
