He also: - folded his siblings into a hide-a-bed and replaced the cushions - started the Christmas tree on fire - played in drainage culverts - jumped off the roof - sucked up gasoline with an old vacuum cleaner - As for homeschooling, he taught our daughter to respect the "big" electricity in the wall by allowing her to experience "little" electricity by having her touch her tongue to a 9V battery. We NEVER had a problem with our child putting objects in outlets. I am certain that would count as abuse nowadays.

We do that now. Is that abuse? Better change my name to anonymous. ;) My dad carried me in a baby backpack on his motorcycle. That is one of my earliest memories. It was fun, but now the picture freaks me out. I had no helmet, nothing. His expert steering was the only thing protecting my toddler body from being smashing by huge roaring machine. Oh, no.
