We were always playing outdoor pick-up games all day of football, baseball, or basketball . In winter we played hockey on a frozen pond.
Sling shots.
Collecting pop bottles for the 2 cent deposit.
Snow shoveling the neighbor's sidewalks for a nickel.
Putting pennies on the railroad tracks.
Sleeping out.
Pounding full rolls of caps with a hammer or a brick .
Bazooka Bubble Gum.

@RogueLodyte it will always be more fun to be a boy
i remember collecting the pop bottles and Bazooka joe....God, that was some nasty stuff
I always got excited about the milk man coming
then at this one house the waterman would come into your house but he would announce himself....singing "WATER MAN!"

@LILY61 Re: the Milkman... I remember my first kiss. I had to stand on the milk box. 😂
I remember "WATERMAN". He would walk right thru the OPEN basement door to check the meter.
