I got to drive the tractor when I was little. I got it profoundly stuck in mud. I also got to drive the truck, which now makes me cringe.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I never got to play on hay bales as a kid, or on tractors.
Given my self injury track record, this might be a good thing.
ION news, As of right now, I have nothing important left to do today. Can I go home before someone changes that?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I was ten the first time I drove a tractor. And maybe 11 the first time I drove a truck - I had to drive it to the back forty for my dad. The only thing I did wrong was parking it on a hill with it still in drive (it was the first time I drove something with an automatic).
Once I had to help my dad get a tracter out of the mud - I drove one of the two other tractors he chained to it to help pull it out. Good times....

Hay bales were so much fun to clamber all over!
My sister has bought hay bales to put in her yard when she had masses of children running around. I can't remember why she had masses of children in her yard, must have beeen a party or something.

My uncle used to take us out in the cab of his tractor all the time. And my cousins (his kids) were put to work riding beans.
The first time I ever drove (not counting the tractor incident) was when the eldest of the cousins took me and another my age out on to the farm roads and let us drive her future-mother-in-law's brand new stationwagon. I was 11. I still can't believe she did that, considering she's not a risktaker or anything.

Thrive to spite them
Dad used to take us out to the property the family owned -- acres and acres of woods. We'd run around and go hiking, have picnics. We'd get on the hood of the car (a 1970ish Ford LTD complete whale of a car) and he'd drive us around while we lay there.
