How classic was your childhood?
 

Prison Bitch's fishing thread got me wondering. How classic was your childhood? Take the enclosed poll to find out, and then let us know how many you checked off the list.

Rules: Count only things that you did BEFORE the age of 13.

Disclaimer: I'm a guy so I don't know what girls did before the age of 13. However, I suspect there's significant overlap so hopefully this list is reasonable for people of all chromosomes.


You can summarize your childhood score here:

45 or higher - Your childhood was so American that it was actually Australian.
40 to 44 - Your childhood was classic American and not a pansy soft American. You're an American who eats steak.
35 to 39 - Your childhood was classic American, but probably from one of the coastal states
30 to 34 - Your childhood might be classic American, but more likely it was Canadian.
25 to 29 - Your childhood was more European than American, but one of the tougher central Europe states like Germany or Slovakia. Or maybe Iceland.
20 to 24 - Your childhood was probably English.
15 to 19 - Your childhood was probably French.
10 to 14 - Your childhood was probably Japanese or some other place that's fundamentally different.
9 or lower - Your childhood was probably in one of those bubbles due to an immune system failure.

What pole?

B4pole

Did someone steal the pole?

Your childhood was undoubtedly full of taking pole.

We all need to neg rep prison Bitch for this shit !

Pablo is in on the big pole. His throat is getting wet

Define classic?

Barbie and Ken dolls? Dollhouses? My Little Pony? Playing house or dress-up in the basement? Playing school, doctor or Bad Lady—even Priest and doing mock communion? Tea Parties? Baking Christmas cookies?

We are talking about man things.

Get the **** back in the kitchen woman!

Yep, did all that.

Priest was a man thing.

I did plenty of man things. Actually boy things, being a Tom Boy, but still did the girl stuff too.

I remember getting really mad at my mom when she told me in the real world outside the home the men cooked and baked. I remember feeling offended by that.

My score was 21. The thing I missed most painfully was not having my own treehouse.

Well, that and sex with a hot teacher. But at that age I honestly would have preferred the treehouse.

Pretty classic I'd say. I checked off 35 of the boxes.
