re: Similar childhood memories that most us have

We had dirt clod wars.

I had the privilege of growing up with literal hills of dirt to use. We would build all kinds of forts (frick man forts were awesome.)

Out of felled trees and random junk dad brought home by the trailer load.

Man we built some bad arse shite. Like multi-room stuff. And if it wasn't dirt clods it was hickory nuts, or these weird little round cucumber smelling melon things that grew in the field.

Man one time we used some wood and some old hay bales, and then we had some leftover fireworks, Roman candles and smoke bombs and stuff.

By the end the forts were on fire and we were running around like maniacs.

It's a wonder I only lost an eye.
