        I rolled it around, too, when I was a kid. It was so cool.

        Locked out of house in morning to play outside until lunch. Drank from hose. Placed pennies on train tracks and once flattened by train drilled hole in them and stung then with twine for necklaces. Strung walnuts with shoe string for walnut fights.

        Oh my gosh! We used to go to a local garage and collect the mercury off the lot. Made rafts and floated down the streams after a heavy rain😃

        Haha- we played with liquid mercury, too, as kids! No adults warned us about its dangers! We had FUN, more carefree childhoods!

        Climbed trees. Fell out of trees. 🌳 Landed on dirt. Went to school with asbestos ceilings. 🏫 Collected June bugs. 🐛 Shot flying squirrels. Did not eat squirrels, but did eat grits. 😊 #ProudHillbilly
