what's your fave childhood trip/experience?
I will apologize in advance because this is going to be really lame jfdhfdhfgd. Also putting it under a read more because you know, story time.
My fave experience as a kid would be the time when my grandparents were building their summer house.
The cabin has a gable roof. The roof was tall enough that you could fully stand in the middle of the 2nd floor loft (the edges of the loft did not have a full height ceiling). The foundations of the cabin are also fairly high because it's built on a hillside. So, not a very low building.
I helped my grandpa and dad by bringing them nails to the roof in a little sand bucket by climbing up the ladder to the roof.
I was maybe six years old.
They let a six-year-old climb up to the unfinished roof of a two-story building to deliver nails in a sand bucket.
I have no idea how my mother and grandmother allowed this to happen but they did.
(They also let me trapeze around on the bare roof beams before any other parts of the roof were laid on so I was literally just hanging out on the roof beams having the best time of my life.)
It probably doesn't come as a surprise to anyone that my motto as a kid was 'higher'.
