Haha - if you’re childhood was spent running barefoot through fields, swimming in a pond 3 miles away (but totally worth the walk), riding ponies and sleeping in the back yard on Summer nights, you’re ready for just about anything.
Did pretty much the same. Was cleaning wood debris out of a hay wagon. My boss had literally just said “Watch out for nails”, and the next instant my foot planted squarely on a nail coming out of a board. It stuck in my bone or between two bones as I had to literally wrench my foot sideways a little and up to get it out. Serious pain, and very bloody shoe.
Yep - my Dad believed in the butterfly bandage instead of stitches and vitamin C instead of antibiotics! Who knew how right he was…
Omg yes peroxide or mentholateum on everything
Merthiolate. My cotton top sister at one point had pink/orange hair because of a cut on the top of her head. We survived all kinds of childhood disasters thanks to that stuff. We weren't allowed to play or swim in creeks or ponds thanks to polio. And Daddy wouldn't let us have snow cream (ice cream made from snow) after a certain point because of nuclear tests fallout.
If we ever wore shoes in the summer they were 10 cents a pair flip flops from Woolworths.
I spent years living on the farm in south GA swimming in two different ponds and a creek. I cringe at the thought of all the nasty bugs I must have been exposed to. We spent most of our time dodging water moccasins and horse flied the size of your thumb.
I hated those damn horseflies. I felt like I’d stay under water for a full minute to get away from them and they’d be waiting for me to come up.
Bringing back memories. Used to go catch crawdads & sell for a penny each.
Anything to get a penny for penny candy from the General store!😊
That actually cost a penny. Our favorites were those wax coke bottles with syrup inside and candy cigarettes.
