In reply to the discussion: What did you do as a teen/kid that parents today would have a fit if they knew you did it. Mine---sliding down huge [View all]Niagara
(12,397 posts)There were very few times that I attempted dangerous expeditions.
I remember once I started doing backflips off the diving board and that stopped quickly when I scraped the inside of my arm from being so close to the diving board. I'm lucky that I didn't hit my head and drown in the pool.
What really would have had my parents flip their wig was my nudist ways, it started when I was young. Then it became an issue for some people during my teenage years.
My friends and I would go skinny dipping in the lake. We would jumped off lake piers during the day and night.
I had a short term boyfriend and he got mad at me because I stripped down on a 93F humid and sunny day and jumped into the lake. He was mad because he said that I was showing off my goods in front of his male cousin. I said well maybe you should have invited us inside to your grandma's air conditioned house where you were instead of leaving us unshaded and outside. I broke up with him later that day.
You know the dreams where you show up to high school naked? Didn't bother me at all, I wasn't looking for a place to hide and I totally strutted my stuff during that dream.
It didn't bother me that we had open showers at school either.
I don't walk around nude or strip down in front of people on extremely hot days in my older age, but that's because I have an old mom's body with built in tiger stripes now. 🐯
I just wanted to be honest about my younger self nudist lifestyle.
