When I was 5 my parents were renovating the old house they used to live in the the small town where my Grandparents lived. Now a rent house it was across town from grandma's, a whole 9 blocks. Halfway was main street, and the county courthouse. I would often get bored and walk from grandma's to the rent house or from the rent house to grandma's. Got ran out of the basement of the courthouse, a funeral parlor for opening and looking into all the caskets, the pool hall (told me I was too young to play dominos because I beat them out of 50 cents), and the officer coming back from lunch did not like me playing checkers with the one inmate thru the bars of the city jail.

After the jailhouse thing my granddad started taking me all around with him "to keep me out of trouble." But everywhere we went he bragged about me getting kicked out of the pool hall for beating those domino guys out of 50 cents. He had played dominos with me a lot. Granddad passed the next summer when I was 6.

So think I've always been a little extroverted.

Imagine letting a 5 year old walk around like that today! I feel sorry for today's youth.
