Whenever my wife gets upset about one of our children’s latest pranks, I ask her practically the same question: “Listen, think back to when you were a kid! Didn’t you or I do exactly the same thing, or even more recklessly?”

Looking back, I’m actually amazed my peers and I even made it to adulthood. We’d do parkour on garage roofs, eat ants and other nasty things on dares, hang off passing cars with skateboards… basically, me-dad would’ve gone insane over me-son’s antics. Incidentally, as it turns out, many other adults also reminisce about their own strange childhood behavior.

How would i feel?

I used to wish for pain. I’d try to get hurt or break my bones in the hopes that someone would care about me like I saw them care for the others with broken bones. I never did end up breaking a bone. It never worked, but I’d try and try and try.
