Some of the stories make me snicker.

We didn't have fancy super soakers, we had those waterguns that you'd buy at 7-11 for half a dollar, and they shot a non existent stream of water 6 feet, and one jacka$$ would always get the water hose with the spray gun and totally ambush someone else by shooting them in the face at full pressure.

I remember my sister dared me to pick up a red hot coal from the BBQ and because I didn't want to be chicken, I did, and then grossed her out by popping the water blisters on my fingers and slapping her.

Rock em Sock em robots were for the rich kids, we played a live version of it.

the best toy I ever got was a gun that shot toy cars, you would shoot people in the face with it.

in the summer, you'd pack a peanut butter sandwich at 7:00 in the morning, grab your bike and your buddies and you wouldn't come home until dark.

In the winter, you'd play hockey outside when it was 30 below, at least they had the fire on Lake Bonavista so you could warm your feet up, but we didn't wear any equipment we just wore clothes and a touque, and the goalie was the guy who skated like bambi.
