I'd like to start a string you'd not want your kids to read.

Now tell me...what is the darned stupidist fun thing you did when you were a kid? Here is one of mine : )

We lived in this small little hick town (not even a traffic light) and the kids in the neighborhood had to think up their own source of entertainment. To our good fortune Carstettor Creek ran through the back of our acre lot (I didn't know it back then but so did half the sewers in Delaware *sigh*). Even better, the man across the street ran a junk yard and he had seven kids! Now this creek was flat bedrock and fairly narrow. We had frequent flash floods on this little tributary and the kids in the neighborhood lived for the moment : ) all to the total ignorance of our parents. It was the late sixties and life was good, you know? Well one day providence would have it we had one of those sudden summer downpours and Carstettor started rising. Those fine children across the street supplied us all with near empty gas tanks (I know), and we proceeded to use these as flotation devices and ride them down the flood waters. Most of the kids were older and bigger. So guess who gets on a floating gas tank and can't get out of the creek? (Maybe that is how they coined the phrase "up a creek without a paddle") So now the adventure got really interesting because my lovely older brothers (remember them M.C.?) could race up the creek ahead screaming their heads off concerning my lack of intelligence, all the while I'm deciding little "Em" is about to die! Eventually one of the bigger boys managed to fish me out before Carstettor ran into Laughery, which runs into the Ohio river! And you all wonder why I chucked rocks at them mean old boys...

Alright, fess up...I can't be stupid alone.
