Playing in subdivisions where the outer areas weren’t fully built, playing in alleyways between houses that would become dumping grounds for random things after a decade of occupation, kids building “club houses” with whatever scraps of lumber and nails we could steal from other houses back yards or early stages of construction, having friends who lived in rural areas where we’d play/wander in barns and abandoned houses. We’d break bottles and have rock rights for funsies, too.
But for the most part, the tetanus from rusty metal things is like from the early 1900’s that just got passed down, out of context, as a matter of fact.
I grew up in a fairly sterile environment because I had/have a dogshit immune system so my only context for any of this is that one episode of Arthur where he fucking fillets his knee open on a rusty can.
