   Growing up there was an arcade a block over that also had a restaurant inside. If you won enough tickets you could turn them in for food.

   When I was 12 my friends and I would cheat at skeeball to get enough tickets to buy whatever food we wanted. All we had to do was have one of us distract the attendant and the other two throw the ball directly into the highest scoring hole over and over again.

   What did YOU do as a child that today you would be mad at your kids for doing?

     A friend and I jumped off every bridge within the biking distance of our houses. Lots of train trestles and farm bridges. It started as a dare, then we both found we enjoyed it.

     I'd kick my daughter's ass if I found out she was jumping off bridges. She's a thrill seeker like her old dad already.... Rollercoasters and MMA fighting are two things she enjoys, not watching MMA actually on the mat MMA.

     @Mrfunkedude I don't know if I'd ever be mad at my kids for stealing food. I'd be impressed that they got away with it.

     @Mrfunkedude as a child, nothing really. Now as a teenager...I don't have kids & my little brother periodically buys my silence so we don't give his kids any ideas.
