How the heck did we survive childhood?
What? Lawn darts and cap pistols aren’t on the list?
My thoughts exactly. Given this mentality I shoulda died at least 5 times on the monkey bars and playing dodge ball....not to mention bb gun and bottlerocket/Roman candle fights.
This country is being turned into a bunch of sissies.
Hey kids, please don't ingest the cyanide, uranium, or ammonium nitrate.
With fire crackers knives and pointy sticks

I can’t recall swallowing any of GI Joe’s stuff or a hotwheel. But I do recall throwing and getting hit by more than one and eyes were always a target. .... We made tennis ball cannons and shot them at rach other. And the flaming ones were especially exciting to shoot at people.
We probably just don't remember the stupid kids that killed themselves playing - Social Darwinism.
I had all kinds of stuff to build with - Erector Sets, Lincoln Logs, etc. Chemistry sets, other science stuff from Edmunds Scientific (wonder if they are still in business), knives, BB Gun, camping and fishing stuff.
