Best 10 year old memory

[Clank [MM]]

Think back, some of you way back and post a memory when you were around 10 years old.

The one I'll post shows how the rules were different in the 60's and 70's compared to now.

My dad was a diehard for convertibles. I still remember sitting on top of the folded roof as my dad would drive down the street. He had told me more than once not to sit up there but I kept doing it. Well, he improved his tactics one day and never said a word, just gave those brakes a tap. Ya, it brought me back into the car fast enough. The part I don't think he planned on was I thought it was fun, try doing that nowadays. Later in the day he was parked on a hill downtown. While he was in a store I jumped in to the driver seat to "pretend drive" and had pulled the car out of park and it started coasting downhill. A complete stranger jumped over the door and put the car back into park and just left. My dad never said anything but he must have known, the car was not in the same place. I guess I should ask him one of these days. Hadn't thought about that for quite some time, can still remember how it felt though, sucks growing up.:D

So what do you have members, fess up.

My mother and her sister pulled the same "pretending to drive" stunt on my grandparents car. The car hit a telephone pole and bumper and radiator were damaged. Unfortunately, they had to wait to get the car repaired for several years because in WWII parts were not available for anything but military vehicles.

When I was 10, I remember trying to "tube" behind a canoe with a 3hp motor. We didn't have a tube though. We used a snow saucer made of aluminum. At full speed which was probably 2 miles per hour, only my head would be above water. It didn't work well, but my friend Kris and I sure had fun trying.

This may sound strange but I love walking in the rain, without an umbrella. Always have. And one of my best childhood memories is of walking my dog Champ (he was a pond dog) for the first time, yep in the rain. He loved it! We had a great time running through puddles and getting filthy doing it.

I have only one outstanding memory from that time frame. I was listening to a neighbors radio as his son and I played in the driveway... A remember the announcer telling the world that Russia had launched a satelite... the first man made object in space... I was 11 at the time... :-B

Awesome. Our dog, Slicker, hated the rain. When he was a pup, my wife used to have to go out with him and cover him with an umbrella so he would go in the rain.
