I am thankful that my kids are not as dumb and reckless as i was as a kid. Now i mostly just worry about what they do and see online, but rather than block them, i educate them because they are going to find a way anyway, just like i didn't listen to my parents about doing some dumb things i my youth. Did you do any of these dumb things as a youngin?
1. Putting coins on the railroad tracks to flatten them. I remember my parents saying this could cause a train derailment and also obviously just dangerous being around moving trains in general. Did you ever flatten coins on the train tracks?

2. Smoking. I remember when smoking by people of any age was not seen as that taboo. Hell my parents use to send me to the store to buy them cigarettes and the store sold them to me. We had designated smoking spot outside our high school. Did you smoke as a youth?

3. I had one cousin that had a license and a old Dodge Minivan. We used to pile a bunch of us into this van like a clown car and go joy riding around town. Obviously quite dangerous, but the fun overrode any thought of danger. Did you ever pack way too many people into one vehicle?

4. Prank phone calls. When i was young we lived near a corner store that had a payphone outside. We found out the phone number of the payphone and we would use my telescope to watch as people would walk by it and we would call it, freaking them out because we could describe what they looked like or what they were wearing. We also did the is your classics like is your fridge running type prank calls. Did you ever do prank calls?
