That's cool

Just about to post the translation of the old German American in Germany with the military.

Of course he did! Lmao

I used to build an "volcano" in my sandbox in my parents garden and driving cars all day long up and down being fascinated by the tracks the wheels carved into it; I even created parking spaces at the top. I even was allowed to light the volcano with paper trash when I was around 12 years old when my parents where inside in the living room or on the terrace. I'm very thankful to my parents that they raised me with that much freedom and relied upon my reason to not act dump. And I'm only 20 now. Point is: If you let your kids their freedom and give them the tools they very much keep themselves entertained with almost nothing except their imagination despite there being video games accessible (which I loved back then and still love, too). Overprotecting children is the main problem paired with toys you have to use in an single, by the manufacturer determined way. I too loved being free to walk around in the neighborhood and going to an small "stream" by the fields or near the quarry (mind you not in the actual quarry) or to the local playground all alone (But we had to go back when the street lights lit or the church bell rang 6 in the evening, iron rule which we had to follow). Later I was responsible to watch my younger sister when going there and despite the occasional conflict I loved it and my sister loved it being there without parents but with me.

Cafer And you’re only twenty? Its wonderful that your parents gave you such freedoms. It does build character, & we learn by our mistakes. I loved hiking, fishing, & just being outdoors more than indoors. (We had only 3 TV channels back then too, haha) Some of my favorite toys were frogs & lizards, they were free if you could catch them! My kids were allowed to play the video games, (they’re all in their 30’s now) but I made sure they spent outdoor time, & if interested, they played sports. You just can’t replace childhood, & it sounds like you had wonderful parents that trusted & supported you & your sister to have adventure time. Lighting that volcano must have been so cool, but especially because they taught you how to do it right. Fun times are what we all need, no matter your age, & you will carry that through the years!

@@19bishop56 I feel exactly the way you described! And for an character to be build you need to be able to act on your own for the experiences needed to build said character. I had an grand and useful childhood. And your children are lucky in many ways they had the same freedom.

That's what I was thinking!

@@LadyTracyOfTheDisk me too

Yeah!

With enough time and the right type of clay a toy can have a new leg to replace its old one... (It will need to be painted to look accurate)

My brother found $3,000 in the pocket of a sweater once.!

My husband‘s family found tens of thousands in the back of a TV - the recycling place wanted them to remove the innards or it would never have been found.., and his grandma sewed cash under rugs! All German 🤣
