I dunno if it's true but I remember hearing growing up that if you handle a baby bird, the mother will reject it from the nest or something like that

 

sweet old man with good intentions


there are a couple swallows nests in the overhang off the shop. If one got pushed out and didn't fly I don't think we'd find it. The dogs would probably leave us a jigsaw puzzle

 

I grew up hearing that too but it's simply not true.

I only found out because I'm doing laundry at my house and kept hearing a few birds squawking in a weird way....stepped outside to find my FIL holding a baby bird

 

yea it was probably something my parents told me to get me to stop harassing the birds in the yard lol

 

Oh dude I heard that too lol

The shit parents would do or say to scare us or make us feel bad

 

Pretty trusting offer of my buddy since he doesn't wheel his truck on 37s anymore

 

Put your pet Spider in with the baby bird and make a video.

 

Most of you probably never heard this one, but when is was a kid, in the 60's, parents wouldn't let you go swimming for a half hour (or sometimes an hour) after you ate, because you would get stomach cramps and drown.

 

Oh I totally remember that one, my mom was big on that when I was growing up.

 

I actually did hear that one! As well as 'you're not supposed to go outside shortly after taking a bath/shower'

 

same, I swam competitively and was always miserable

 

My parents forced me to do 1 sport and play 1 instrument at any given time growing up

 

My spider would wreck that thing in a heartbeat

 

didn't get a pic but there was a 18" bull snake on the patio earlier when I was working outside

Ditto, well minus the instrument...but we had to be involved in a sport or some kind of recreational activity from about 6 yrs old on up.

I was terrible at every sport I played until I started playing hockey at ~12, in basketball and baseball I was always that kid that got the "Most Improved Player Award", aka the worst kid on the team lol

I did start playing guitar in high school and was pretty involved with it until my mid 20s. Can still play some tunes but my fingers don't have the callouses on the ends anymore so it hurts like fuck after awhile lol

 

I got one of those for swimming and basketball


you still play hockey, right?

 

Yup, well...not currently thanks to livin covida loca and all

 

Speaking of ice skates

 

such an underrated movie
