I didn't grow up around boys so when I married and had one of my own, what a shock that was.

Sometimes I think the little bumps and bruises teach you to get through life. I wouldn't go so far as to want any splitting their heads open, still I wonder how much is too much protection.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your stories.<BR/>:-)2sweetnsaxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15872876714307002560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-973593384239080192.post-72322522322012932032008-09-30T17:57:00.000-04:002008-09-30T17:57:00.000-04:00It's amazing what children would do for fun back i...It's amazing what children would do for fun back in the day.

That's exactly what I was thinking!<BR/><BR/>My husband and I enjoy reading books out loud in the evenings -- its a folksy old fashioned way of hanging out together. We are reading Little Heathens, Hard Times and High Spirits on an Iowa Farm during the Great Depression. I just know you would love it! It's full of stories like yours.<BR/><BR/>Blessings!<BR/>LacyRazorFamilyFarms.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17417905789640513832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-973593384239080192.post-75677040854212395652008-09-30T08:49:00.000-04:002008-09-30T08:49:00.000-04:00Amazing, isn't it?

In fact when I hear them I go outside with my BB gun and often shoot at the rear end of a cat scampering up and over the fence.<BR/><BR/>I had a gold clamp put in my lip way back when.

I bet you don't let your grandkids run around with hatches looking like Davy Crockett on the wild side. Have you been to Abe's blog this morning to see all the blood and gore?

(I, being a girl and all, have never had a stitch or a broken bone, but am sure I spent as much as or more time outside than my brother did.) <BR/><BR/>I love this sentence: "It wasn't like today where the grand kids can get carpal tunnel syndrome injuries from using their Wii." Not only funny, but true. We have no such things in our house. Even though our yard is TINY, that's where the kids play most of the time. Sometimes they play inside, but it's still imaginative and active.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984115229811752666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-973593384239080192.post-37946697598314311502008-09-29T21:27:00.000-04:002008-09-29T21:27:00.000-04:00Good stories but it's a wonder you are alive.
