lawn jarts
Love this game! (Not the throwing them at people part...)
This is an actual song, you know. By Ed's Redeeming Qualities:
"She was pegged in the head with a lawn dart (lawn dart!) / Her dad didn't see her, that's the worst part...."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

What is even happening?
Oh, Toddson. You were a horror! Surely, your own poor mother paid enough for the rest of us.
At about two, I got in the habit of going around the house sticking bobby pins in the outlets. Until I got a shock that knocked me flat.
You know...there have been things I've stopped my kids from doing, because they're dangerous, and I've always said to Scott, if only I could know for certain that they'd just a little hurt--nothing serious, just enough to learn THAT'S BAD, I'd probably let them learn a lot more from the school of hard knocks.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
You know, this wasn't that dangerous, but when I was 8 I had a bubble gum eraser. I had it with me at school and I sniffed it a lot. One day I Just. Could.Not.Resist and I Took a Big Bite. Bleeeeacch!
But I remember how hard I tried to control my impulse, and how I just HAD to bite it.
Also, I threw out my papa-san chair pad yesterday because it was so full of pee (cat pee, not mine). I hadn't really realized how much this cat peed "outside the box" until then.

Always Anti-fascist!
I read words like "lawn dart" and right away am earwormed with Denis Leary's routine about kids being tougher in the '70s(?)

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

When you're 6, throwing them at people is the most fun thing that comes to mind.

Up her own nose. Oops!
So her mother stuffed peas up her own nose? Fashion statement then, definitely.

I took our lawn darts to college, and we played fierce tournaments on the grass in front of the dorm. We were the honors dorm, so if anyone walked by and mocked us for our geeky ways, we'd whip a lawn dart at them.

I had to make my kids keep their scented erasers at school. They trigger my ocular migraines.
I (accidentally) bit a crayon once. Crayola. Midnight Blue. Yeeeech. I was eating a pretzel and my mother told me to put away the crayons, and I took a bite of the wrong thing.

It might be a bit of a stretch to call it a philosophy book though.
Gudanov, to paraphrase the Zen and the Art of Motorcycles guy, the Subaru you're workin on is yourself....
When I was a wee thing, I once blew up a overhanging lightbulb by spraying it with a squirt-gun. Luckily this was in the basement, where it was easy to dustpan the shards. Didn't know it would do that.
