When I was a kid, the paint chips I ate had lead in 'em dammit! Damn whippersnappers don't know how easy they have it.

When I was a kid we didn't have video games, computers or satellite tv I can't imagine a time without at least one of those things. I have no idea what I would've done to pass the time.

We (GASP) played with erector sets, lincoln logs, played outside, fished, hunted, you know, we went out and lived.

Hmm...I did stuff like that. But that never held my attention as long as a tv show or game did. might have something to do with me being a loner and not much imagination.

When I was a kid my brothers used to watch World Series Wrestling on TV and get up in the ad breaks and practice all the holds on me and my sister. That's kinda cute till you realise my brothers were 16 and 18 years older than I was - and the little one was 6ft 4!! People wonder why I'm tough.

Perhaps if we had woods I would've spent time there. I loved nature as a kid, there just wasn't enough of it around.

My mum was shockingly over protective. We used to wait till we were staying at the Aunty's houses and then we had free reign to run wild like kids ought to. Falling in creeks and exploring derelict houses. Roaming the streets for miles around: Three kids up on a Malvern Star bike. We used to knock off the refundable soft drink bottles from the yard of the corner shop near my Auntie Jean's house and walk in the front door, sell him his own bottles then take the profits and nick off up to Revesby where the Hamburger shop had an Addams Family pin ball machine. My cousin Michael was high scorer there for 5 years - and I don't think he ever paid for a game out of his own pocket!! OOOh...and "Knock and bolt" was our favourite after dark past time. Sneak out after dinner and torment all the cranky neighbours by banging on their door and then taking off. It was ignominy to be lumbered by any of them; esp "Bloody old Fletcher" the man three doors down who was the bane of every child and adolescent in east Hills. Even the other pensioners hated his guts. The joke was that his own two kids, whom he had fathered late in life and thought could do no wrong, were the only real bloody juvenile delinquents in the street. They were stealing cars and breaking into shops at 14!! Even his dogs were mean.

As the baby, I was my brother's test subject. They had me jump off the roof of my grandmother's house with one of those bubble umbrella's when I was 6. I made it, of course, only weighing 40 pounds. When they did it, the oldest broke his wrist and another disolocated his shoulder. Then they had the nerve to be mad at me! Another time we were playing hide and seek in the barn and they shut me in the horse blanket box telling me it was the perfect hiding place. They then set a couple of other boxes on it and left me there. 4 hours later my grandmother found me sound asleep. And they wonder why I was such a wild child. It was for survival.

I feel I've missed out on a great number of things being an only child. Wasn't even around my cousins all that much since it was an hour and a half drive from Tampa to Sebring.
