Kids don't change - my daughter does all of those things Kiss mentioned.
Ever put duvets on the stairs and slid down or gone down on a tea tray? My cousins and i used to climb out of first floor windows, jump off anything high enough to be scary, hang around those creepy steps with the ghost story about it ( a man hung himself from the tree over the 13th step - of course!)- just because we could and it's a cheap thrill.
Oh yeah - along with the dizzy spinning and pins n needles thing - didn't you used to wrap elastic bands round your fingers till they went blue? Or hold your breath and then someone would push on your chest to see if you'd pass out?
Something I used to do and I know our kids have done is hide behind the curtains thinking no one can see you.
The curtains would stick out a mile, you can see the feet at the bottom and hear giggling but you'd be well hidden :lol2:
using a clothes horse as a tent
i used to love painting my hands in pva glue at school and then peal it all off as if it was old skin.
used to love it when the men had been to cut the grass in the field/park then we would make pretend houses using the grass in piles to mark out the rooms.
did any one else do the chicken scratches thing?
oh used to play some "game" i use the term loosley where by youd stand opp some one and have darts and throw them to th eground and the person hand to move their feet to that point, youd carry on till you could spread your legs no further.
ok now i know i would faint if i caught my daughter doing these stupid last 2 things lol and there the mild stuff

I used to get a single skate and an old book(yearly annual were the best)and sit on the book and skate and rush down the biggest hill using my good school shoes as brakes..
Wish I had patented the idea tho cos someone did and called it a :cry: skateboard
woo
There was a book written in the 70's called Altered States. Basically it described that adults take drugs and drink and look for thrills in the same way as kids boost themselves into a state of euphoria by doing various daft things.
Since then I havent worried a sausage about what I do.
I used to do a lot of the things already mentioned, but also used to enjoy building dams with clay & stones in the local stream, mixing all the chemicals out of my mate’s chemistry set and when I was a little older, extracting the gunpowder out of bangers to re-assemble them to make a really big bang. These days you’d have a health-and-safety inspector insisting you wore hard hat, goggles, safety boots and body armour for most of the things we got up to ..
