I may not want to know you:

Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

    I did have a BB gun I shot from about age four on. A dirt bike! I guess us poor boys can't hang out in your world. I did have a pony one summer but dad sold it come fall when the grass was running out.

    like scout no dirt bike, but did get a mini bike one year from the summers mowings,no other kids in the neighborhood had one , I wasn't allowed to let anyone else ride it and pretty soon the other kids quit hanging around and ignored me. finally burned the clutch up and sold it, bought for $50 and sold with a bad clutch for the same money about 2 months later. didn't take long to get back in with the neighborhood kids...........

    Friend of mine had a Crossman CO2 Colt Python we'd shoot in the woods. That stinking Christmas Story Came out when I was trying to get a BB gun for Christmas. Parents wouldn't let me have one.

    When all my friends had BMX bikes, I had a banana seat bike which I hated so much, I popped its tires. Road my Dad's single speed Schwinn to school, instead of riding that Banana seat bike.

    Couple Christmas's later my parents bought me a BMX bike from Venture. By then all my friends had 10 speeds and here I was trying to keep up with my single speed BMX.

    Parents finally got me a 10 speed in High School, of course all my friends now had 18 speed Mountain Bikes.

    I had a crossman BB gun that looked like an M1 Carbine.

    No BMX bike, I had a 5 speed schwinn that I used on my Paper route when I lived in CA. I made enough money to buy a Rupp Black Widow that I rode all over the Hacienda Heights in LA.

    I had one of those, an older cousin gave it to me. Later I gave it to a couple of boys younger than me when their family's home burned, figured they could use something nice.

    I had two pieces of fire wood to play with. Found an old roller skate and nailed it to the bottom of a Coke crate.

    I grew up with a big willow tree out in the backyard next to the crick. That tree provided all a young kid needed for a very happy childhood! Was a great fort and a climbing place to swing from playing Tarzan , made bows to shoot cattail arrows, made fishing poles to catch trout in the crick, made rifles to play Combat with!

    had the same thing only bad thing about it was when we got in trouble, mom would send us down to the willow tree to get a branch for a whipping, you learned not to get the smallest one as she would go get a bigger one and you got double....I can tell you a few swatts from a willow branch will bring you around to her way of thinking real fast........
