  2. Far right: A young Scot Peterson is forced outside to play with the other children.

  3. I could do this as a kid 55 years ago…now not so much. My witty is dead today😟

  4. Back when playing Cops and Robbers and/or Cowboys and Indians ended with everyone “shot” and getting something from the ice cream truck after.

    Damn sad.

    Pew, pew.

  16. It sucks being the little brother. Everyone else has capguns, all you get is the stick!

  17. Damn I miss those days. Now my neighbors would be goin nuclear callin the Sheriff screamin about my kids shooting each other.
    Those cap guns sound waay too real.

  18. My non-PC childhood.
    Nazi cowboys versus American cowboys!
