    Even more fun was jumping from my friends balcony onto their couch. Thank goodness it was her that broke the couch and not me.

    I used to pretend if I didn't get out of the bathroom before the toilet made that one noise it makes when it's done sucking all the water out, then some evil witch would get me... I'd hold my breath and run out and once I was safe I could breathe again!

    I got it from a book I read as a kid...

    Totallydid that. We (my brothers and I) did lava, and if you fell you had to stay there. But sometimes quicksand so that you could be saved... that just led to us pushing each other in until I was the only 1 left on the couch, and refused to help them out of the "quicksand"... ahhh, childhood memories of being the oldest of 4 boys :happy:

    LOL

    I used to do all of these things!!

    To add on to the living room blanket tent camp outs....my friend and I used to build the tents as our camp, but then we also built horses out of chairs and boxes and blankets (we used shovels for heads) and we used dog leashes for reins...and we would watch Black Stallion or some other girly horse movie and pretend we were riding with them lmao!!

    We used pillows to traverse the hot lava, which my daughter does now :smile: . We also made blanket tents.

    As a kid..I leapt 2-3 feet out of the bed in the morning to keep the evil man with the needles lurking under it away.
    I had bottle rocket fights.
    I climbed out the rickety old window on the second floor of our barn to get up onto the roof.
    I burned ants.
    My brother shot me in the foot with a BB gun.
    We sledded down a hill to gather speed for a race across an icy pond.
    Captured monarch caterpillars to watch them grow into butterflies

    I used to have a hamster cage I kept tomato worms in.
    One of our neighbors gave me a cocoon he found, he told me it was a locust... I kept that freakin thing for like 6 months and it still wriggled around and then one day it died, it never hatched. I was so sad.
