Reminiscing

I was talking to a few clients this morning about being a kid and how active my younger sister, my older brother and me were, but mostly about what brats we were.  We scared a lot of people.  I remember that we lived on the main drag growing up, Euclid Avenue.  This was two lanes up and two lanes down.  It was a very busy street.  The thing to do was to drive up and down Euclid for hours. We; however, were not old enough to drive.  We were approximately 7, 8 and 9 years old.  (Right? What were our parents thinking).  Anyway, my sister and I thought it would be cool to run out in front of traffic and see how close we could get to the cars.  Obviously, we had death wishes.  The looks on some of those poor people’s faces.  Wow.  We also used to climb trees all the time.  We must have driven the babysitter crazy.  She would pay us to come down from the trees.  Now that I think about it, we had a lot of different babysitters.  I remember one time my brother and I climbed on the roof of a neighbor’s house.  The house had a separate drop down porch.  Well, we were too short to climb back up to the main roof of the house.  I helped my brother and he left me.  I had to jump off the porch roof.  At least I didn’t get hurt.  Anyway…I loved my time as an active kid and am thankful that I lived to be active adult.

This post came about because of a meme I saw on Facebook yesterday.
