Childhood

When I was a kid and growing up, I did all the following without getting in trouble.

• latchkey kids.
• Drinking on Guadalupe River.
• Traveling on the bus with ammunition and a bayonet in your bag.
• Carnying a pocket knife to school.
• Got spanked when I screwed up.
• Played on a school playground off hours when no one was around.
• Hung out in a public park after hours.
• Take pictures and video in public.
• Swim in a park lake.

Things I was not or would not have been aloud to do when I was a kid that are not so taboo today.

• Be one of the following:
• Gay, or even a submissive male.
• Pothead
• Sexually active, there is not enough of a stigma today in my book.
• Boys growing long hair in public school.
