I remember those days. Building my own sailing cart, together with my brother and a friend. We didn't forget the brakes, but we also didn't know how to make them work. Smashed the cart into a tree at the first try.
I remember windsurfing, long bike rides, almost falling down a chasm in France, climbing trees and falling out of them, digging a hole to serve as a "pirate cave" and having it collapse on us. Playing soccer. Never worrying about "unhealthy" foods or drinks.
Wonderful times. Far fewer things were forbidden then.

And the only times I've ever been to the hospital was to visit friends or family. Never broke a bone, never even needed a stitch. Bruises and shallow cuts by the dozen, of course but those heal by themselves.
No Nintendo. Not much TV. 
All in all, it was a better time to be young then. Maybe things were a littie bit harder back then, but they were also a lot more fun.

I'm 41 - and in many ways I'm still a kid.
