share your little boy/girl story.....

back in the 70s when i was maybe 6 or 7 my mom gave me money to go to the store to buy her cigarettes. so i hopped on my bike and away i went. when i got to the store and at the cashier i looked down and holy #$%^ i see a ten dollar bill (about 8 usd by todays exchange) that was a lot of money those days for a kid. so i pick it up and put it in my pocket..get back on my bike and ride home...when i got home i'm like mom!!! look what i found!!! i reach in my pocket and realized i had a hole in it (like all little boys didn't have one) 🙄...i lost it...but i got back on my bike and retraced my path...lo and behold i found it on the street. giddy up!!! i put it on my dresser when i got back home...next day it was gone....it sucks having an older brother steel from you!!! bastard probably bought a months worth of pop rocks and jaw breakers 🤣

My childhood was full of violence, bloody beatings as discipline, street gang fist rock and some weapons (No Guns) fights as a poor kid growing up inner city until my father got a good job and moved us out to the country.

I found a kids dropped money once from candy sales for school and gave it back to him when he said he dropped it on the way to school.

Collected pop bottles (Glass ones) for their .10 cent return price and walked out of the store to be robbed by teenagers at knife point, one of them beat the hell out of my friend while telling the guy with the knife to stab me as I ran away.

Sorry my life was different.

@beermeplease A survivor/fighter that will never quit. It led to success in sports (American football) and a state High school wrestling champion that did not want to go to college but chose a 27 yearlong Army career instead, so yes it suited me, and I made the best use of that childhood environment.

I have my peace and the life I love.
