I was born in 1985. We had the swing set. With my three little sisters, we tipped it over all the time. My shortest sister, managed to break it when she was trying to tip it over by herself. She wasn't even 2 foot tall, with wild curls, and a napoleon complex at 4 years old. When it tipped over, the top of it snapped in half. My sister wasn't even hurt. The grounding and butt woopin we all got seemed worth it. We did have a chemistry set and a iron on patch kit(we all learned to use an iron without burning ourselves). We would run around our small neighborhood, once cartoons finished, for hours. We played at the creak, rode bikes down the big hills with no helmet or padding, played in the woods, and had massive hide-n-seek and red rover games with the local kids. We would come home when the sun started to set, sometimes bruised or wet, but satisfied from a fun day. We now live in a world that isn't safe.

It's hard to believe that this all happened almost 20 years ago and it's still great.

One thing I love about my grandmother, she did not tolerate crap like that. It didn't matter if there were witnesses, cameras, or a cop right next to her. If you threw a tantrum like that, you're getting dragged to your feet by your hair, and she'll beat the shit out of you with the first hard object she grabbed. I never, not once, threw a tantrum like that, because I feared this woman by the time I was allowed into the store with her. Then, my brother was born when I was nine, and raised away from her so never built up that level of fear before-hand, and I got to see her beat the shit out of him with one of the mops that was on-sale. My only reaction was "... Boys are stupid."

I'm 30 years old and we used to have a swing set like that in our garden. My parent's garden is huge, and at one point there is a small hill. The swing set would sit on top of that hill. We used to put a mattress at the bottom, then swing as high as we could until the swing almost reached the tipping point, and then we would throw ourselves down flying and try to hit the mattress below. We got a point if we did. We almost never did and it resulted in a lot of cuts and bruises (but never any broken bones). Today our parents would probably be arrested for child endangerment, but back then they didn't blink an eye and we had loads of fun!

Heather Wellner so is ours. Now it’s rusty, has bent legs (from it coming out of the ground and then back into the ground too much). My grandfather put metal rebar through the legs to keep in the ground but that only worked for about 5 minutes. Kids still swing on it to this day. We also had monkey bars as part of the complete set (now long gone). The monkey bars is the reason I have knee problems to this day. I decided to jump off the top them onto the rain soaked ground and land super hero style. I landed perfectly except my right knee landed on a rock just below the surface. Broke my knee cap. Still have the scar 30 years later. The only reason that swing-set is still around today is because it was built with good steel and tough paint back in the 60s when it was new. We had lawn darts too. But they disappeared about 10 years ago from the garage. Guess somebody finally threw them out. Of course long after about 3 generations of kids had played with them.

I'm really glad to say that my little 5-year-old cousin (Now 6) has NEVER acted like that in the store. The worst he's ever acted (at least with me) was when I brought him into the pharmacy with me to pick up some medication. We were walking to the back and he saw a toy he wanted, but I told him we couldn't get it. He whined a little, but let it go. Because he was so good in the store, on the way out, he saw a stand with SweetTart suckers on it. He wanted one of those, and since he was so good, I grabbed one for him and went to check out. The woman looked at the sucker and said she couldn't scan it for some reason, so I went and grabbed another one. She scanned that one and said they were 2 for 1. So I bought my sweet little cousin both for being a good boy. Even when I'm in a store by myself and I hear a kid throwing a tantrum because their parents won't buy them something, I don't even look because I don't want to be _that guy._ You know?

When I was a kid, 6 of us went to Flordia from Connecicut. In a VW bug, mom and dad in the front seat with baby brother, two teenage brothers in the backseat, and me in the cubby behind the rear seats. That was a long time ago, but a fond memory.

I was born in 2002 but growing up poor with parents who loved the old AND the new I can relate to literally EVERYTHING he says, lol. The swing set especially, I remember swinging on that thing so hard that I'd do a jump and run just as it fell over and then my daddy would yell and complain. As he was setting it up again!

Grandmother just ignored it and didn't pay any attention to him believing that he would stop it if she ignored him and most definitely didn't give in to him. After about 10 days of totally ignoring his breath holding she had to go to town to do some shopping It was a hot day in summer and James decided he was going to by golly get this one toy he wanted and Grandmother told him no. He whined about it as they walked down the street until he realized he was not going to get his way and he hit the ground and started holding his breath. He had really screwed up because he tried that right in front of the drugstore downtown. This was back in the day when the local drug stores had soda fountains in them. Grandmother told my dad and my other uncle to watch him for a minute. She walked into the drugstore, borrowed a big pitcher of ice water from the person at the soda fountain, came back outside, and threw the entire pitcher of ice water on him. That ice water hitting the hot kid in the 100F+ heat shocked him out of his tantrum. Then Grandmother did a 180, took the pitcher back to the soda fountain person, came back out, and they continued their shopping. Uncle James never tried holding his breath to get his way again.

And we survived No bike helmet Climbing monkey bars Bailing out of the swing on the play ground We survived through it all

Thank you. A clean and funny presentation.

We had an old station wagon, (they call them crossovers now) that had the seat at the back facing the rear. We would make faces at the people behind us and you know what? No road rage, no guns and everyone had fun with it.

I had that swing set, we found out that one kid can get the legs out of the ground but six can knock that thing over.

We rode all the way from Michigan to Alabama in the back of a pickup on a mattress. With a topper of course. We would swing up and over the top bar of the swingset at school.

Reminds me - I have to call my mother and apologize.

I can relate to all these stories!

We had a tetherball set in the backyard that was positively lethal. My older brother would hit it to where it would hit me in the head just as hard as he could every single time.

And when you start forgetting things remember those head injuries and tell the doctor it will help diagnose your problem "chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disorder associated with repetitive head trauma." Football players have it but you could too and YOU weren't wearing a helmet.

Still one of the funniest men alive, right next to Bill Engval. Those two men can make me cry with laughter every time. No need to be crude, exaggerated, impolite, cuss, gross, or sexual in order to get a laugh. Just smart guys who knew what real people thought was funny.

Sadly it seems to be a dying art on how to do comedy without resorting to such language.

I'm almost 40 and I remember those lawn darts were so cool one week and they disappeared the next it seemed.

I use to ride in the back window on long road trips also ... so much fun 👍🏼👍🏼👏👏😊😊

I had one of those "man, I'm getting old" moments at work the other day. It all started when one of my coworkers asked how a guy could drive a motorhome into downtown Nashville, and detonate the explosives hidden within it. I told him about the guy that perpetrated the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing using a u-haul truck to do his deed, and he gave me the blankest of stares. I asked him how old he was back then, and he said "I wasn't born until 1997."

Used to sleep in the back window of my dad's Hudson all the way from Ohio to South Carolina. We were left in the car all the time while our parents shopped. We never felt like we weren't safe though . Used to sail on my bike as I was chased by a dog up the hill and by a bull coming down the other side. Good times!

So good……so real world funny…..Jeff…we love your observations of “Life”…… Your humor is the greatest gift……

Such good memories of my childhood.😹😹😹😹

2004, I was 13 years old playing in a Babe Ruth game and my grandfather gave me a Mike’s Hard Lemonade to drink because I forgot my water bottle. Here I am drinking it throughout the game and nobody said a thing lol.

, way back in 1957 we drove all the way from Milwaukee Wisconsin down to Montgomery Alabama Highway Old Highway 41 we had 6 people in a car and I would take a child and you cannot imagine my sleeping on the back deck of that car four on the floor over the hump believe me it was a hell of a trip I still remember to this day

I used the wood burning kits in art class last month in 7th grade, just a month... How did no one die?

We had woodburning kits when I was grade school. If I think real hard I can almost smell em.

I witnessed a 3-4 year old kid arranging a meeting with his buddy on a cell phone while his harried and disheveled mother was pushing him through a store in a buggy. About 2008. I still find it hard to believe that it really happened.

I loved the swing sets that did that. It was fun. My big thing was crazy stuff on horseback. We used to hunt and chase rabbits on horseback. So much fun. Now I’d be happy to ride at all.

So true. I've had my share of experience riding in the trunk space of an assortment of vehicles.

Say a prayer for the one who didnt get to grow up. It never ceases to amaze me how people think if nothing happened to them it never happened to anybody. But it did...that's why there is a law to not allow it.

I remember those swing sets!

I love this Man he's so funny and creative!

My mom and my brother had to work to pay the bills so at 10 I was welding and doing construction on the house, using an ax in the yard. The neighbor old ladies would come out screaming as if they shit their pants "get off the roof, you're too young to do that!" Well, you're too old to do that for me so here we are.

I always thought rocking the swing set was half the fun. My brother and I practiced one of us rocking it by swinging while the other (normally my brother)walked across the top main beam! Mom came out screaming when she finally caught is doing it and it distracted Ray.... Four stitches, sprained knee, amazing posterior bruise and a mild concussion. Mom had a migraine; SHUT UP! I gota hickory switch taken to my posterior. I objected to being punished for Ray being that stupid. Two weeks of dishes added on to that.

The best is seeing how high you can go with it rocking. Obviously you reach the highest point when it falls over but you always try to get high enough that you were over the top on the back swing. Then you could land on your feet.

My brother would lean out the window of the car and say "zow" when a car went by, and "rhooooom" when a truck went by.

That’s exactly why our generations have done so well, growing up made us battle hardened. These kids now days aren’t wise enough to not get run over in a parking lot. Work to them means making their own meals.
