I can't link stuff or it won't show my question but on yahoo shine, they have a list of 8 things:
being part of a team, camping, chores, snow, farm life, a lemonade stand, flying a kite and bowling. I agree with all of those but what other things would you add?
I wanna add: catching lightening bugs, flashlight tag, slip and slides, hula hooping, root-beer floats, easter egg hunts, owning and adding to a piggy bank, learning to play at least one mario game! and the beach.
off for a bit- so no thumbs down from me. will read answers later! thanks. :)
Answer
Those all sound pretty good. What would I add? Hmm...
--Play a musical instrument for at least one year.
--Play with just dirt and sticks outside.
--Break a bone and/or getting stitches once.
--Care for a pet.
--Deal with the death of a pet.
--Ride a mega roller-coaster.
--Hop-scotch, four-square, hide-and-seek, and other old-school, low-tech, outdoor games.
--Church, at least at the lily-and-poinsettia times. (Even atheists often take their kids to church. It's a cultural thing, even if you're not the religious type.)
--Fix a friendship that was on the rocks for some reason.
--Take a few things apart (toys, electronics).
--Break something and have to pay to fix it.
--Museums, zoos, and theme parks.
--Travel outside their own state (It's amazing how many kids have never traveled much at all! I know money is a major factor, but still...)
--Saturday morning cartoons.
--Sleepovers.
--Footie pajamas.
--Work a huge jigsaw puzzle.
--Board games with family.
--Make cookies from scratch.
--Try "disgusting" foods every now and then: broccoli, brussel sprouts, calamari, etc. (Adult favorites)
--Get caught in a major lie.
--Do volunteer work.
--Go to at least one baseball game, football game, and basketball game-- pro or university.
--Save up for something big.
--Rolling down a hill.
--Sled/tobaggan down a snowy hill.
--Build a snowman/snowcreature/snowfort.
--Give homemade gifts/cards to mom and dad.
--Spend a weekend with just the grandparents.
--See mom and dad cry at least once each.
--Build a sand castle.
--Build a mini-dam in a creek.
--Catch lizards, frogs, etc. (I did-- it's not just a boy thing. Actually, my elementary school had frog-jumping contests every year on field day, and you had to catch an entrant.)
--Get teased/mocked by a bully at least once.
--Stand up for a friend who's being teased at least once.
--Be excluded from a group at least once.
--Go on a hike.
--Get seriously sunburned to the point of blisters at least once.
--Plant something and watch it grow.
--Water-gun/water-balloon/hose fight!
--Run through sprinklers.
--Climb a tree.
--Repair the chain on a bicycle.
--Wipe out on the bike at least once and get road rash.
--Rollerskate/blade.
--Forget backpack at home at least once, and NOT have parents rescue you.
--Lose something important, like money or expensive things.
--Get an A.
--Get an F.
--Jump out of a swing.
--Hang upside down from monkey bars/jungle gym.
I could probably keep going, but I'll just stop. :)
Some of mine seem negative, like getting injured or having to deal with mistakes, but that's how we learn. It's important for kids to have many DIVERSE experiences as well as some negatives that they can learn from. Cheers! And thanks for the trip down memory lane this morning! ;)

Why do kids try to dress like rappers?
flonkas
You have seen it. Long tee shirts that go below your knees. jeans where you have to walk funny in order to keep them from falling. 200 dollar jordans that you have to keep wiping a little dirt spot from them every 2 seconds. a hat pointed a funny way. dora the exploer backpacks and power rangers. It all looks ridiculus. Rappers arent good people anyway with all the gang violence and putting down women.. Why do people act like that?
Answer
haha your question made me laugh! ive always wondered this. i graduated a few years ago and now my sister is getting ready to start high school! im worried, all these wannabe thugs walkin around. its ridiculous! rappers arent bad people, but these kids should really be making their own image. its a popularity thing. my ex i swear had a hundred pairs of jordan's and he didnt even play basketball! just wanted to look cool. its STUPID! and the parents, let them dress like that... come on now.
