Re: Childhood crap that just doesn\'t happen anymore
Falling asleep in the car and getting carried inside.
I think "getting carried at all" is a pretty big signifier of "kid" for any guy who's not 5'4. When was the last time I got the piggy back ride? Bitches.

Pocketing stuff at convenience stores without the slightest bit of guilt.

Building awesome pillow and blanket forts.
Using stuffed animals as WWF opponents and my bed as the ring. I had a ~4' lion that was a pretty tough opponent.

Re: Childhood crap that just doesn\'t happen anymore
The person who mentioned summer hit it for me. Working in education, I'm exposed to concepts like "summer" and "spring break" and now all they mean is that the student works wear shorts.
I used to really enjoy that last day of school and hearing "School's out for summer" in my head. Also running around the neighborhood playing guns.

Being able to play with Legos again is pretty much the sole reason I'd even consider having kids. [/ QUOTE ] Wow my brother says this all the time haha.

[/ QUOTE ] My daughter was born in October 2006. In April 2006, I visited my parents and they gave me one of their cars, as my dad bought a new one. The first things I packed for long drive home (Milwaukee to Atlanta) were three huge boxes of Legos so that I could play with them with my kid. I need to find all my Lego spaceships. Those and Atari games were my favorite childhood presents.

Re: Childhood crap that just doesn\'t happen anymore
Listening to the radio - especially AM radio - and enjoying the music they played. Now if it's radio it's NPR, and if it's music it's something I choose from my multi-GB MP3 collection. Woo hoo, Terry Gross is on! But in my youth, I remember really liking the radio, and actually caring enough to call in and request songs, etc. Seems like a lifetime ago...
Soft drinks with sugar. Used to drink them by the case, but now it's either a Diet Coke or water. Which brings me to: Drinking water from a garden hose, and having water balloon fights. Both hallmarks from summers long past.

Re: Childhood crap that just doesn\'t happen anymore
Awesome birthday cakes. My mom is an amazing chef and baker and would always ask what I wanted. She made all kinds of crazy stuff, like a cake that looked like a cat and a very ornate gingerbread house.

It kind of just looked like a cake that someone sat one. He told me it was the best cake ever.
