Yeah, even most of the ones I checked off were tame versions of the response. I was far too proper as a child.

I remember BITD, I used to ride my BMX bike all over town. I would go from my house, to store, to store just to play all the different arcade games in town. I've used google maps to retrace the routes I used to take on my bike. I used to pedal myself for 12 miles every weekend.

33.
Didn't go to Disney World until I was 16 and thought it was pretty 'meh' as far as amusement parks go.

If you're a parent, recognize that your kid is four times more likely to look at pornography than to play the piano.

Exactly

I had a score of 40, but the hot teacher was not one of them. Not that I wouldn't have, but the opportunity never came into play.

No hot teachers, or they just weren't into 13 year old boys?

I had one that was very hot, the rest were tired old school marm's that resembled this:

35. The sex with your hot teacher option actually made me laugh out loud.

Jim Raynor · 02-15-2017, 01:18 PM

None of my teachers were hot until I reached college.

Forgot to add on the list..

Get injured on a skateboard.
Break a bone playing sports.
Get a tooth knocked out doing something stupid.
Snap a girls bra.
Have kite fights using razor blades added on your kite.
Burn shit for no reason- Army men, GI Joes Model cars.
Build a bike ramp and then rack yourself when you jump it and the handle bars slip.
Blow up ant hills with firecrackers.
Rebuild or repaint your bike for no reason.
Put baseball cards in the spokes of your bike that would be worth $ now.
Build a fort in the woods out of a refrigerator box and scrap wood.
Have a dirt clod fight and almost lose an eye.
Play pickup football games with every kid in the neighborhood.
Drink out of a garden hose in summer. Nothing beats that stale garden hose water when you are thirsty.
Chase down the ice cream man.
Play hide and go seek with neighbor kids.
Water down your snowballs and let them freeze over night for the big snowball fight the next day.

I wish I would have thought about drinking from the garden hose and chasing an ice cream truck for the poll. Those are pure Americana.

How many points I get for this?

Built a wood ramp to use on the street.

Neighborhood bully loosened my front wheel

Jumped off and my front wheel popped into the air

Fork dug into the pavement and I went right onto my chin.

12 stitches to reattach my 'waddle' to my face.
