What are some things you used to do as a kid, but can't do anymore? One thing that comes to mind, is prank calling. I used to love prank calling local people, especially before caller ID became a thing in pretty much every phone out there. Now days you can't get away with it unless you know how to spoof your number somehow. Looking back, I was a total jackass, but back then it was so fun.

What are some things you've enjoyed doing as a kid, but no longer can today? Oh, going to a movie rental place like Blockbuster. It seems most rental stores are dead by now. Kids these days won't get to experience that anymore. That was part of my weekends, going to rent games and movies. Miss those days.

    Living carefree knowing that no matter how irresponsible I was I'd always have a place to sleep and food to eat. THOSE DAYS ARE OVER!

    I was a child a fairly long time ago. I grew up in a small, beautiful and peaceful midwestern college town.

    In the summer, after breakfast we would go outside to play unsupervised until lunch. We might ask if we could go fishing, but usually we would ride our bikes and play with the other children in our nine square block territory.

    After dinner we would go outside and play until the street lights came on. That was the signal to go home.

    One time a homeless person ( we called them hobos) came to our town. People were so amazed that my folks even took us on a drive to see him. It is shocking to see how much things have changed in the world since then.

    Yeah I don't watch as much tv as I did when I was a kid, so I get that.

    Yup, miss my gramps and grandma a ton. Especially my grandpa, because he was awesome, had no filter when he talked, I loved it.

    That too. I have days where I wish I could just go back to being a kid and not having to worry about bills, work, life, etc. Kids these days have it so much easier too.

    Sounds like a great time. Never heard of anyone being amazed to see a homeless person. But I guess it was a different time.

    Same here, miss those days of going out and passing the football around, or playing football in general. We'd also go out into the woods and make forts and stuff. I remember digging really far down in the woods once. Someone made a fuss about it and it was buried in a few days later.
