Best/Worst Times as a Kid

[Sudden Impact]

Running with a precise of mind. Not hurting anybody. Smart. I don't know, what do you think?

I have been a Kid all my life and never growing up

I will say this though, Social Media and Technology have kill the world of real Kid moments and taken away a lot of great times that some willl never experience...

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Great question, going to have to think about this one for a few

Hey, Sudden Impact. I didn't mean to sound itchy. Being a kid is a state of mind sort of like young and old.

Best: riding on the back of my cousin's dirt bike across my granddaddy's newly furrowed garden. Until she turned it over and the engine burned my thigh. Somebody ought to tell kids not to ride in shorts. The burn was so bad that Granddaddy didn't get ticked. Guess that was a win/win. Except for the scar.

I’ve got one of those same motorcycle exhaust burn scars on the inside of my leg from the youthful shorts mistake!

The 90s were pretty freaking good, old man.

The 90s sucked. Too many drugs. Guess it depends on how old you were then and how old you are now.

Best: Okay, it's an 80s story. My boyfriend, his best friend, and I decided to climb the lights at Bobby Dodd Stadium to smoke one. They made me go first. Pretty up there.
Worst: It was harder coming down than it was going up.

I bet they were for a kid in those days. You at least had more TV channels (cable) than what we had. We only had about 3-4 B&W channels & those had "snow" on them as well.

Where on the Chattahoochee?

 

[headhunter15]

Best: Growing up in the 90s. I was able to enjoy the outside and the onset of the new technology.

Worst: Watching my dad battle his alcoholism.

The big rocks.

Worst: Watching my dad battle his alcoholism.

It is a battle. sorry that you had to see that.

 

[headhunter15]

It is a battle. sorry that you had to see that.

Yep. Thankfully he’s still alive. He does have liver cirrhosis.

 

[Juanita]

Okay, don't want y'all to get depressed about the worst.

Best: My uncle was dragging me across Lake Tchukolaho. I was 10 and finally got up on 2 skis. Flying.
Worst: Mom was mortified and my boy cousins were laughing their behinds off. My bikini top was on my ski belt.

 

[Juanita]

Just for kicks until you get your grins.

Best was my Grandparents driving us around on Christmas Eve after dinner looking at Christmas light, then getting home after Santa had visited - I know this is blasphemy for some that Santa is Christmas morning.
Worst was my dad having a heart attack when I was 9 right after my friend's dad died of one.

The big rocks.

There's big rocks everywhere . I live about 10 minutes from the river, in a couple different directions in northeast Georgia.

The worst time was when old man Winthrop trapped me in his shed.

 

[Vol Farmer]

I got a Red Ryder BB gun and almost shot my eye out

 

[WestTennesseeVol]

Bonus worst: any time grandad or grandma made us pick our own switch out of the yard when we misbehaved.

Talk about psychological warfare.

 

[TC 83]

Dang I thought that was good.

When did he let you out?

 

[Juanita]

Best: I made out with friend's boyfriend.
Worst: I got caught.

 

[Juanita]

Best: I told on him.
Worst: My brother shot me in the ankle with a BB. Not sure which came first.
