As kids we never tore up anything, we knew how hard it was to come by. But the things we did do, now that I am almost 60, scar me or make me chuckle even now.
Once a neighbor got a new V W bug. He was telling ever one about its good gas mileage. Those first ones had no gas gage. so ever night or so we would go over and put in a gallon. We did this for a month, he never did buy gas that month. the next month we would go over and take out a gallon ever now and then. We were not steeling, we put it in there is how we looked at it. Then we just stopped, but he did not. He would get off work go to the dealer and won't his car fixed. Old Jim Knott knew that V W would get 300 miles to the galloon, no matter what the dealer said.
My good friend that I grew up with, "Joe" , and I on one Halloween night we played a wonderful game we made up call swapee swap, It goes like this. we come to your house and get your tractor (one of us had been on it all day) push it away far enough so no one would hear it start and go 3-4 miles to a new house leave it and get a truck go 3-4 miles swap it for a milk cow (it would be close to the barn for milking the next morning) now walk 3-4 miles swap it for a horse, this went on all knight. about one hour before sun up the lights in the houses would start to come on. the women would be up getting biscuts ready so we gave up and went home. the next day at Pop Panel's store we sat and watch all that stuff go buy, on it's way back home. we had 8 party, party line phones back then and when those old hens got busy no body could get away with anything.
The only thing wrong with kids today is everything comes so easy. I have three grandsons (who do you thank thought me how to do this) They will never have to work like I did. But is not knowing what a blister is, that you just have to work around, a bad thing. I have gone on way to long. please don't hold it against me.
