33.
Didn't go to Disney World until I was 16 and thought it was pretty 'meh' as far as amusement parks go.

Yeah, even most of the ones I checked off were tame versions of the response. I was far too proper as a child.

I remember BITD, I used to ride my BMX bike all over town. I would go from my house, to store, to store just to play all the different arcade games in town. I've used google maps to retrace the routes I used to take on my bike. I used to pedal myself for 12 miles every weekend.

If you're a parent, recognize that your kid is four times more likely to look at pornography than to play the piano.

35. The sex with your hot teacher option actually made me laugh out loud.

Exactly I had a score of 40, but the hot teacher was not one of them. Not that I wouldn't have, but the opportunity never came into play.

No hot teachers, or they just weren't into 13 year old boys?

Forgot to add on the list..
Get injured on a skateboard. Break a bone playing sports. Get a tooth knocked out doing something stupid. Snap a girls bra. Have kite fights using razor blades added on your kite. Burn shit for no reason- Army men, GI Joes Model cars. Build a bike ramp and then rack yourself when you jump it and the handle bars slip. Blow up ant hills with firecrackers. Rebuild or repaint your bike for no reason. Put baseball cards in the spokes of your bike that would be worth $ now. Build a fort in the woods out of a refrigerator box and scrap wood. Have a dirt clod fight and almost lose an eye. Play pickup football games with every kid in the neighborhood. Drink out of a garden hose in summer. Nothing beats that stale garden hose water when you are thirsty. Chase down the ice cream man. Play hide and go seek with neighbor kids. Water down your snowballs and let them freeze over night for the big snowball fight the next day. |

I'm surprised draining the oil out of your Chinese bosses car in the middle of the night wasn't an option.
Oh, and riding your dirtbike across the putting greens at the golf course and cutting 4" deep ruts. |

Snowballing cars.
Neighborhood matches of Smear the Queer or Red Rover played til someone bled. Sledding on anything that was not a sled i.e. a shovel, garbag can lid, inner tube, etc. Picking berries then making jelly with your grandma or other relative.
