being dumb is unfortunately a part of being a teen. Just some do dumber things than others.
Hitchhiking
picking up hitch hikers
Swimming in flooded river
Driving 120 miles per hour down country roads
Filling Iron-cased stove with gasoline and then lighting a match in the vent
Hitchhiking and picking up the same was nothing special.
We took a canoe out on a flooding river, got stranded on some trees in the raging water only to be rescued by the local fire Dept after they shut off the Damn that was up stream.
Stupid.
Driving 120 on country roads?
Well, that’s pretty fast unless you know the road and your abilities. But I suppose that is what this is all about. Testing the limits.
Throwing C02 cartridges into a campfire was where I drew the line.
