Childhood Rules

[Deleted User] · 2013-09-14 19:30:54

Childhood was a time of much complex rules and regulations to keep order. What childhood rules do you remember? One I recall was the next goal wins when playing soccer. No matter the score, after sometimes hours of playing, the next goal wins.

Every few months a story would go around that a man in a white van is snatching kids.

Once me and my friends were playing on the road (back when that was something kids did), and a white van came up the road. We ran for our lives up the road in front of the white van while it patiently waited behind us to get into a house. We stayed inside for the rest of the day, convinced we had made it inside by out-running the van and that it was waiting outside for us.

Football - "No lashers in the box."

Lashers = very hard shots.

Box = the small area beyond the tar line in front of the wall that was a goal.

The box changed size depending on the keeper and who owned the ball.

Also, He who smelt it dealt it.

If they arranged a school trip and it involved a double decker bus, we upstaireseys (the bold ones) used to rush across to the side as it turned a corner, trying to get it to go up on two wheels...which it occasionally did, usually resulting in no more school trips by bus for a while.. if you were good/a teachers pet, you sat downstairs, upstairs was anarchy..

You could never squeal. Not even if it was Gestapo.

Wash your hands after going to the toilet.

Don't poo in the sand pit.

Don't urinate in the kitchen sink.

Well, if you think about it:

Wash your hands after going to the toilet. Your immune system as an adult should be strong enough by now to take care of a few bacteria.

Don't poo in the sand pit. If the cat is allowed do it, then why not you? You're an adult, you can do what you want.

Don't urinate in the kitchen sink. If you're tall enough, then why not? Urine is sterile (unless you have a nasty infection)

:pac:

When playing football, instead of the offside rule there was "no goal hanging". One of the worst things was if you got a reputation for being a "goal hanger".

Poppycock, I was chuffed with my reputation. If somebody wanted to punch me, it was a good day in front of goal

I also remember me and my mates as kids used to bagsy a nice car or motorbike.
Eg. A convertible would drive by so I'd say bagsy that. Which meant it was mine
Used to argue about it as kids over who seen it and bagsy first

we did something similar where we all sat on the wall, if we liked a car we would stay sitting on the wall but any ''banger'' or **** car that came by we would all jump off the wall and stare at the driver.....silly stuff but we thought it was hilarious at the time

Penis

Teacher comes in, erases it.

Penis

Teacher comes in, erases it, tells us to stop being childish (even though we're kids)

Penis

Teacher comes in, erases it, complains to us, and is in a bad mood all day

Penis

Teacher comes in, complains, tells us if it happens again we're all being kept in.

The more you rub it, the bigger it gets!

Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

When a world cup was on, every goal you scored in the park or on the street had to be accompanied with a made up south american footballer name in a screaming commentator voice.

I remember one called GARRAVACIO!!!!!!

The funny thing now is that while at the time it sounded like the coolest thing going, today the South American commentator style of shouting "goaaaaaalllllll" for every goal annoys the **** out of me. If I lived in one of these countries I would be watching the football on mute!

It would be grand if they reserved it for absolutely top class Van Basten in 88 type goals, but roaring it for a casual tap in gets on my tits.
