The things you remember doing when you were young?

Chewing on paper

I remember listening to cassette tapes and having to use a pencil to wind the tape back into place after the stereo tried to eat it.

I remember, as a kid, watching shows like:
Cold Water Creek
Hey Dude
The Waltons
Lassie
The Munsters
The Ren and Stimpy Show

This is bad...for a few years when I was a kid I lived by a lake where there were lots of seasonal cottages.
I remember my friends and I touring through the "abandoned" cottages...in retrospect they were probably just not often used. The doors weren't locked...so I was told...I was so gullible.

Remember using the women's toilet because the men's were closed. Ah fond memories

Go fishing, trying to catch as many trouts as possible.

Writing code for my 8088 TRS-80. Programming code to make 4 part harmony music with my TI-99z rollong dice and playing D&D. 3 line football hand held game, Heathkit electronics. Stuff like that.

I use to love watching the cartoon called Thunder Cats.

Staying up really late on school nights and worrying about how tired I would be the next day, but being too awake to go to sleep

This isn't a generational thing, it's just a me thing:

When I was in the upper single digits and lower double digits, I used to run around and play all day, then mix up big batches of oatmeal chocolate chip cookie dough and eat it raw in large doses. I also sold portions of it to my siblings and hoarded the cash.

As an adult, I go for long-distance runs and earn a bunch of calories, then I mix up big batches of cookie dough and eat it fully cooked in moderate doses. I also share portions, FOR FREE, with my siblings. So grown up now!

I remember accidentally walking into the men's restroom once. There were no guys in there, but I instantly knew I was in the wrong place when that distinctive, funky smell hit my nostrils. Guys are gross. Just sayin'.

We sure are, some peoples accuracy in peeing inside the urinal sink is off target. Most men don't wash their hands either.

Watching rage every weekend, being up so early that the songs were often weird, things that would never make it into the top 100.


well i cant seem to post youtube videos. No biggie, it was just the rage credits

Running to the neighbor kids house and playing and exploring in the little forest till the street lights came on

Muscle_for_Fitness

Trying to jump creeks with the 4 wheeler
Playing football in the snow in the backyard
Sneaking out at night to fish in the pond we weren't suppose to
Building epic tree forts
Being excited to go to the doctor so they could test my blood to see if it was green like a ninja turtle

Pogs use to be inside walkers crisp. I use to crush the crisp in the store trying to figure out which one had the pogs inside.

Playing outside, drinking from the hose, mom yelling to come for dinner, and be home when the streetlights come on.

Same here. Those were the days of fun.

When I was young, I use to go to the arcades. I. Wasn't allowed but use to go. Nowadays kids don't know what arcades is. Metal slug, street fighter was couple of many games I use to play. Those sure were the time.

Watching my older brother play video games and then attempting to play it myself, and failing miserably. We also went to this place called a 'fairy trail' that's here because I used to be obsessed with fairies and there was a wooden statue at the end of it that you touched for good luck.

Grew up in the 50's and 60's. We were always outside playing. The rule was you had to come in when the street lights came on. Normally didn't come in except for lunch. We made forts out of cardboard boxes. Climbed trees. Rode our stingray bicycles. Rarely watched TV unless we were sick. No such thing as texting, instagramming, FB or selfies. Played baseball with friends. Read comic books. Things were very simple back then.

kaizaku

I remember watching a game show on TV called the crystal maze.

ROBOTFOOD

Outside from dusk to dawn. Usually skateboarding or trampoline when I was a youngin. Little more lazy nowadays but I still ride.

DasItMan91

Basically hanging out with friends and playing on my PS1 and not with a care if the world....ahhh good times.

Vikka_V

watching Saturday morning cartoons..until it was late enough to go knock on my friends door to play

sae12

I remember I couldn't wait to go outdoors and play. My favorite shows The Munsters and Happy Days

I saved money to buy a water super soaker gun. You pump the gauge and water shoots with force. I was so amazed since before then I only only had a baby Eater pistol that use to squint water.
