re: Four wheeler safety

Did I do stupid stuff as a kid? Of course. But if my parents had caught me I might have gotten more injuries from them than an accident. This parent was just laughing.

Darwin's Law was in full effect when I was a kid.

Uncle Tom: "Rub some dirt on it, you wuss".

Grandma: "You better not be complaining unless bones are broken."

Uncle Jim: "Well why the hell did you do it like that? Idiot. Hold my beer and I'll show you the right way."

Uncle Bob: "Oh boy, you need to spend more time in church".

English teacher Mrs. Walker: "Would you jump off a bridge too just because your friends were doing it?"

Me: "Yes, Mrs. Walker, I would jump off a bridge just because my friends were. We did it last weekend."

Grandpa: "Well that was a bonehead stunt. Did you at least land your bike on both wheels?"

Aunt Cindy: "Did you seriously shoot the neighbor's ostrich? When I catch you you won't be able to sit for a week".

Mom: "Just wait until I tell your dad".

Dad: "This is going to hurt me a lot more than it's going to hurt you". (Which was complete bullshite).

It would be less funny if it wasn't all true. Most of us even turned out ok
