Pops used to install cabinets when I was a kid and he had a big ole cargo van for a work truck. He also coached a lot of my sports teams.

Whenever we had a road game, at least 8 or so of us would ride in the back of the van. His work tools, etc, were back there, and most certainly not secured.

Yeah, I think I lack a sense of "feelings" because of this mindset my parents had. The only time I ever got any time of sympathy was if I was sick or something, other than that it was pretty hard core. "Getting upset isn't going to change anything. Move on". There were times when I would do something that hurt (scrap elbow, etc) and I guess I would cry and they would say "it isn't that bad, stop crying".

And that "because I said so" bullshite pissed me off. Just out of the blue they would say I couldn't do something and if I asked why "I don't need to give you a reason, because I said so..thats why"

picking up cigarettes for your parents
When I was like 7 or 8 my babysitter sent me to the store like a mile away to get her some smokes. They sold them to me. My dad was pissed when I told him about my adventure that day. Circa 87 or 88

One year for halloween, my parents dressed me up as a pimp and our neighbors daughter up as a hooker. We didn't even know what a pimp and a hooker was other than that the hooker was obviously a trashy girl. She was wearing a short dress made out of a trash bag with a lot of makeup and high heels. I had on a coat, top hat, and a cane and a cigarette. We were probably 10 years old at the time. What the hell were they thinking?

I was also looking through old pictures with my ex girlfriend a year or so ago and she saw a picture of me and my cousin holding a lit cigarette at 10 or so years old while popping fireworks. She was shocked that my parents let me smoke at that age, but I explained that I wasn't allowed to smoke. That year, the firework stand was out of 'punks' so my parents and aunt and uncle gave us cigarettes to light the fireworks. We had to promise not to smoke them and I'm pretty sure we didn't either. Not that I remember at least.

staying in the game after "getting your bell rung"

I'm not positive on this one - but I'm thinking a school-sanctioned game of "Red Rover" would qualify.

(My elementary school in Virginia had one as an Annual Field Day event)

When I was a kid we would regularly go into the Ozarks to camp, float, fish, etc. It was about a 75 mile trip from where we lived. Route took us through a busy town and then the windy Ozark foothills roads. I rode in the bed of a pickup sitting in a lawn chair while my dad was driving and drinking beer.

I haven't seen too many houses being rolled in the last 10-15 years. Our parents would take us to roll our friends houses. We had to go back the next day and clean it up though. My dad would bring coffee and donughts over and the parents would usually laugh at us.
