Dialing random numbers and asking "Is your fridge running?" You know the rest of the conversation when they said yes....................

Playing for hours with my Tonka trucks.
Trolling the lake with my dad for trout
Watching chickens run around with the heads cut off ( still is freaky)
Riding an fixing my Keystone minibike
Driving across Canada looking out the camper front window.
Driving the ford in hunting season on the back roads.
Playing ice and road hockey
My dad and brotherinlaw trying to kill a packrat....They must of hit that thing on the head 50 times I think they finally shot it
Plastic army men and cowboys and indians
Milking a cow every morning then taking the cream off the top to have a drink

ALL of the above...    
and going to the restaurant, my mum worked in, and ordering a hamburger special (2 hamburgers and fries for.65 cents) 
and standing on the edge of the Trans Canada at the B/A gas station watching cars race to the CBC Radio towers a 1/4 mile away...

and a whole bunch of dark stuff, we don't want to remember

Some great memories listed here. I'm amazed at how many of these ring true in our house as well. (I've got that black rotary dial phone, my fathers old B/A credit card, and two sets of clackers although it looks like they are now on shoe laces.)

As a kid we used to burn ants with a magnifying glass. Man did they smoke for such a small amount of material to burn! Every time I have a tooth drilled at the dentist I am reminded of that smell. Amazing how similar the two smells are. (It's like the little guys are haunting me!...)

I remember..

Thawing a gerbil out in the morning. My folks would turn the heat down to nothing at night - 40 pounds of blankets kept you warm. But my sister's gerbil was not moving in the morning. 20 minutes in front of the big heat register and it was active again. That only worked a half dozen times and then it just didn't get up.

A split bathroom - one room had the toilet, the other had the bathtub and sink. They were both just off the kitchen and the big black bakelite dial phone was on the wall between them.

Hatching frog's eggs.

Digging BB's out of your arm/leg with a pocket knife before you went home after playing cops & robbers... (shockingly, I still have both my eyes too)

Wiping out a wasp's nest with a can of hair spray and a lighter...

Digging the garden every spring.

Mom getting up to make my Dad & me breakfast at 3 AM before we went hunting.

Curling up in front of the heat register on a cold morning.

Sneaking out to peek under the tree on Christmas morning.
