would you do the same with your kids

Oh hell no. My Dad taught me how not to raise kids. Even though all the crazy stuff he did with us was fun, it was a life lesson of what not to do with children.

do you have kids?

Yes I do. Our oldest daughter is living with us again and she overheard me telling her Mom that I wrote about this last night and we hear, "Whaaaaaat!?". I've never told any of them the crazy stuff my Dad had us doing when we were children, but she's old enough to handle it now, I think. :)

Thanks!
