10 Things I Did I Won’t Let My Child Do! #100DaysOfOldDays

Day 57 #100DaysOfOldDays

1. Walk barefoot in hot tar.

2. Swim in a river without knowing how to swim. 

3. Play outside after dark; in the rain. We talked about that here.

4. Play with friends in the woods with no adult supervision.  

5. Talk to strangers and accept sweets and money from them.  

6. Play on a building site.  

7. Go to town alone for bread and milk and post a letter for the neighbour while you’re at it. 

8. Hitch a lift as a teenager. (We weren’t allowed but we did it anyway) 

9. Mitch school as a teenager. (We weren’t allowed but we did it anyway) Parents back then didn’t get a text or a phone call if their child was absent, unless they were missing for more than a week. 

10. Pierce own ears using a needle and an ice cube.
