Wouldn't Trade My Childhood For Nothing

[SEEGERMANY]

Oh, here's a goody! Do you remember the first condom you bought? I think I was about 8th or 9th grade when I bought one in the bathroom of a Texaco gas station. I was so proud. It even said on the package "ribbed for her pleasure." I wasn't sure what that meant, but I had one.

About a month after my landmark purchase, my mother asked if I had any cash so that she could get her hair done without stopping by the bank first. I told her that I had a $20 and a $10 in my wallet. I told her my wallet was on my dresser. Next thing I know, she's calling me back to my room. THAT FUCKING CONDOM HAD FALLEN OUT OF MY WALLET!

She looked at me and said "I hope you know what you're doing" and my embarrassed ass said "yes ma'am!" Honestly, I think that son of a bitching condom dry rotted before I ever got around to using it!

Someone already mentioned this, but our skateboards had STEEL wheels and did not move from side to side. If you wanted to change direction, it was all in your body motion. We'd be barefoot and have a rope attached to the rich kid's Honda Trail 70. He'd pull us on our skateboards going well over 20 mph. It's a fucking miracle any of us are still alive!

Yep so true.
Similar scenario in the winter with a big snow.
Neighborhood kids (guys and girls alike) grab on to the bumper of a vehicle and pull us around. Better have some good gloves those bumpers got very cold quick, especially back in those days bumpers were steel.
Lots of fun.

What's a SEEGERMANY thread without pics! Remember these?

[jacksoncsplayer]

Damn this thread keeps getting better and better. Here's one, who remembers the roller skates with the metal wheels and metal keys? I used to fly on those things, but a measily grain of sand would stop you dead in your tracks a send you flying like superman

Yeeeesss, I had green one of those. Great Pic. Thank you.

We never wore stupid helmets.

We also had banana bikes.

Mom and dad never dropped the coinage for a bike with variable speeds until I went off to college. They bought me this really nice Raliegh and some fucker stole it two months later! Bet he plays Squier guitars too!

In the 7th grade, did you guys have to take a shop class for the first half of the year and then home economics for the second half? I don't know about ya'll (I love that word), but we had the ugliest, most homely chicks in home economics class. You would look at one of those chicks and swear right then and there that you'd never get married!

biking to the next town and back

Haha you got me with that one, I forgot all about that. Yeah me and my buds would bmx it like 10 miles down an old railroad track path only to go to a convenience store for a creme soda and a go at "Karate Champ".
