General When the world wasn't so soft

Ah, found the rich kid! We weren't allowed to take our dads' work tools! It was literally an eye for an eye out there. My ma got a few home visits after Independence day/NYE. Every year.

My dad had 4 pieces of plywood in the garage, we stole it to make a tree fort, dad asked if we knew where the plywood went. No dad.

So we ripped it out and put it back, we didn't know how to remove a nail, so we used the claw to break the plywood out around them, dad couldn't understand how they showed back up in the garage with 2 inch holes everywhere.

Lol, fucker! We had a kid a year ahead of us that nearly lost his eye, so we got smart and adopted the absolute minimum safety requirements.

P.s. I subsequently shot a pair of swim goggles to test how BB proof they were. Answer: not at all. In fact, with the way those things shattered and fragmented, I think you rather take the BB to the eye than that old school, super hard plastic turned shrapnel.

we had one of these slides that looks like an Aztec sacrificial shrine. Made of all concrete and after a few years when the shiny lacquered layer wore off, you’ll basically sliding sandpaper. We’ll have holes in our pants when ever we go to the park. Good times

Pause

i got suspended from school in the 6th grade (we all did ) for having pellet gun wars at home. when we went for gym all the kids who lived in the joe rich valley were covered in welts . the school freaked out . they thought we had chicken pox or were being abused . one kid squeeled and told them we were having wars with out pellet rifles so they called our parents and sent us home . almost everyones parents didnt give a shit . only one kid was actually in trouble. we were using the rock salt pellets for our water softener .they fit right in to a .177 crack barrel like god intended it. oh boy did they leave a welt . we had snowmobile goggles so it was all good . they gave us 3 days suspension that we used to go fishing and shoot each other some more . gen x was truly the last free generation

Us poor folks that couldn't afford BB guns used slingshots and crab apples, had a family friend that lost an eye over it.

my dad beat the tar out of me and my cousins for slingshotting crab apples up against the side of my gramas house . they made big red marks on the stucco and we had to hose it off. looking back on it we deserved an ass kicking

I had one in me for 10 years
got a boil in my leg in early 20s and 6 months later a lumpy BB came out of it, might have been a pellet

Used to do BB wars every day for a few summers, wore aviator glasses and sweatpants/sweatshirt

Generation X (often shortened to Gen X) is the demographic cohort following the Baby Boomers and preceding Millennials. Researchers and popular media often use the mid-1960s as its starting birth years and the late 1970s as its ending birth years, with the generation being generally defined as people born from 1965 to 1980.[1][2][3][4][5] By this definition and U.S. Census data, there are 65.2 million Gen Xers[6] in the United States as of 2019.[7] Most of Generation X are the children of the Silent Generation and early Baby Boomers;[8][9] Xers are also often the parents of Millennials[8] and Generation Z.[10]
