I still have my Daisy Red Rider. Has to be 50+ years old. Makes me want to clean it up and lob a few at some mockingbirds.BB guns , every boy had one . My dad told my brother and I we could shoot every bird in the yard except bluebirds .
But did she tone down the cheekiness after that?A lot of things that I enjoyed the most were things I made like a William Tell style crossbow we made arrows with pen nibs bound to the shaft. My mate David and I were playing with it in the back yard and my grandmother was starting to give me a bit of cheek , you know like about shooting someone in the eye. I thought I would fire a warning shot around her feet but managed to impale the arrow into her leg. I can hear her now how she was going to tell my father. Yeh, I got a real flogging for that one.

I had Clackers, but a family friend (an adult) was going to show me how it was really done and broke them. He never did replace them, and I was none to happy about it either. Dad probably told he didn't have to. Of course this guy was not all that bright. He one time loaded a rabbit hutch on his pickup across the box, and smacked some poor dude in the head along the highway.My favorite toys were my Clackers and my Shoop-shoop Hula Hoop. I could do either one for hours at a time. It's no wonder my mother went insane. It's her fault for buying them for me, right?![]()
Clackers were the bomb! Until I nailed my brother, which may have been intentional, and never saw them again. And quality time with the Hula Hoop!My favorite toys were my Clackers and my Shoop-shoop Hula Hoop. I could do either one for hours at a time. It's no wonder my mother went insane.

How 'bout roller skates? The strap-on kind.
No, she slipped on the floor one morning chasing me and broke her hip, that toned her down a bit.But did she tone down the cheekiness after that?
I'm sorry about that. I sense a little regret, but more importantly some good memories.No, she slipped on the floor one morning chasing me and broke her hip, that toned her down a bit.

Hah…had a squamous cell carcinoma cut out of my ear yesterday. Had a several bleeders that didn't want to stop. The nurse was getting after them and all of a sudden she get outside the numb area and I'd grimace. Somewhere around the third or fourth time she said…this is kind of like playing Operation. Ya go along just fine for a while and all of a sudden ya get buzzed.Operation !
It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.'You'll put your eye out kid"
