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.

If you were out at a restaurant and they had lit candles we would use those to melt the straws. Sometimes we would use our parents lighter as both were smokers. It wasn't to completely melt them.
