Thats about the worst thing I did, when I was young. Except putting 55 gallons of concentrated  liquid soap in the City Hall fountain, back in 1975.

ROFL, that is funny DW. Did you out do Lawrence Welk?

How did I miss this thread?
DW I agree with everything you said, but you forgot to mention that if we got caught doing something wrong even if it was just a neighbor, the neighbor would grab us by the ear and take us straight home to mom, mom would spank, and then tell dad and he would spank too. It never killed us.

Maybe it was posted while you were sleeping?   

The town I grew up in was so small that everyone knew everyone. There was no getting away with anything no matter where a person may go. If I did something wrong my parents would be sure to get a phone call, then everyone in town knew because we had party lines back then and no phone call was private.

Playing kickball & dodgeball until your porch light came on.

[Soldier4Christ]

I didn't like that one. I always ended being the one in the middle.   

marbles, and soda bottle caps?

I was good at that one.

and don't forget those home made sling shots.

I made a few of those but with my older brothers I had to go bigger. I had homemade crossbows.

   we didn't have a telephone back then, in fact we got our first telephone when I was about 10 and then it was a party line 

The town I grew up in is only 1 square mile, so everyone was related in one way or another, you know like 3 degree separation?

anyways, I remember when westen union would deliver messages to the door, there was nothing scarier than having the western union man knock on the door in the middle of the night.

I don't remember when we got our first phone. The first memory of a phone that I have was when my grandpa passed away. My mother got the call (it was her dad). That was in 1955.

[Soldier4Christ]

yep that's the one.

 

That was a relatively knew one.
