I hated it as a kid but as an adult now that plays a lot of video games and generally sits on my ass I am more and more appreciative of my mother's insistence that I get outside.

She still let us play video games but much less than other kids at the time.

We basically had infinite forest to explore and we often would set up tree houses or other forts for days or hours. I remember a buddy came over one time and we just spent an entire day making booby traps for our secret base. We hid spike traps under false floors and all sorts of stuff lol.

Really it's a miracle we only got as hurt as often as we did. We did so many stupid things for entertainment.
