Quote:
We played king of the hill on piles of gravel left on vacant construction
sites and when we got hurt, Mom pulled out the 48 cent bottle of Mercurochrome and then we got our butt spanked. Now it's a trip to the emergency room, followed by a 10-day dose of a $49 bottle of antibiotics and then Mom calls the attorney to sue the contractor for leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel where it was such a threat.

This one was absolutely my life -- and my dad was/is an attorney- suing someone because I was a dumbass? Oh please....
The lady down the street, who my parents never met, would bake the kids cookies and give us lemonade, and let us bicycle up and down her driveway -- had a killer hill with bumps. I broke my arm one summer. My parents asked if i thanked mrs whatever her name was for the lemonade and cookies? Sue her? Not a chance.
Anyone remember halloween getting home baked cookies or mmmmmm -- popcorn balls from the neighbors?
