If it was written by W. C. Fields #1 would be Play In Traffic.

According to the index the list doesn't look to be that tame as people suggest.

I wasn't all that adventurous as a child, but I think I did them all, apart from the ones involving trains and domestic appliances that weren't around then.  >:(

What do you remember doing as a child that you would add to the list? I have fond memories of walking barefoot on the road in summer, when the sun had melted the tar.   8) Not so fond memories of having to clean up afterwards.  :P

According to the index the list doesn't look to be that tame as people suggest.

However, what is the deal with nr 10? Is that 'playing with the vacuum cleaner' or '"playing" with the vacuum cleaner'?

But better yet, it would be better to let them experiment several of the items at once. Like (19)standing on a roof from a building with a lot of public (29) wearing your self-made sparking flying machine (24) falling into a dumpster (33) that is filled with gasoline (45) and glass (47).

Nah, I would finish the book way too fast...like maybe two or three regular Friday nights or so.  :P

P.S.
Hmm, maybe I finish it at once if could borrow someone else's kids  ;)

That would also seriously limit the repeat-sales of the book.

Fireworks!

(the book might cover this in the "Play with fire" item)

I did several interesting things with fire:

* Light pinestraw on fire and throw aerosol cans in the fire
* Mix egg and gasoline in a container, light it, and throw it on army men (I love the smell of napalm in the morning!)
* Use aerosol cans as a flame thrower with matches to light up army men (I still remember the trouble I got into for doing that one!)
Ok... I guess I was a little obsessed with fire when I was younger...
