15 - no
16 - yes. Also made elaborate constructions using water and my hands in a pinching position, so sand was slowly dripping and enabled the making of beautiful little stalagmite palaces. I and my brothers called them "polyps" all while having no clue what the word actually meant, just because of how it sounded.

You bet; we even tried cooking up there; it was always failed and disgusting, but thank god we never lit fire to the forest.
piggies-go-moo's avatar
I had a lot of fun with a large magnifying glass when I was a kid.

Thank god I never lit fire to the forest as well. :stare:

"With big league chew"

Oh wow I haven't heard that name in a long time! If I recall it came in packets and was a type of shredded gum. Made for excellent bubbles!

"Rolly pollys, catipillers, and praying mantises were among my favorite."

Same here!

"Used to suck 4 at a time while I slept."

Wow, a whole fistful! :lol:
