I'll confess a few - running from trains ("Stand by me" style, climbing 50m vertical cliffs without ropes, making bombs, almost used a kite for a hang glider. I could go on for ages. Like I said - its a miracle nobody from my street wasn't killed. We all did dumb shit 'cause our parents didn't care. Bow and arrow fights, surfing in lightning storms. Stealing golf balls then selling them to other golfers... The list is endless

I seriously feel sorry for all involved in this incident. Poor little fella

Sounds like you had a fairly normal childhood to me DiB and you survived it like most of the rest of us did.
