When I was a kid if I ever threw a rock at a window and intentionally broke it,
I'd have to pay to fix it out of my hide. Literally.
As in not sit down for month.
I'm sure there were plenty of kids back then who broke windows, but they didn't have my parents.
But we didn't have a problem choosing up sides and having a good dirt clod fight, best time was right after the farmer plowed the field.
On his best day in the pro's my oldest brother could throw a baseball 97 mph.
He usually held back or threw with his opposite arm, unless you did something dumb to make him mad. If you did you definitely didn't want to get hit by one of his clods.
There were a few times when I had to check my back to see if it went all the way through.
