Answer 2

Yes, all the time. My old man would tell me to play in the road with hand grenades and razor blades in the road. So I went to Iraq and played with hand grenades in the road and he got mad at me.

Answer 3

I don't think I was, actually. We lived right on a main road until I was almost 17.

Answer 4

I was told this once, but the guy who told me this wasn't joking. He was my step-father, and once we were walking down the street & preparing to cross, and he told me to run into the street and see if I could make it across & back without being hit (although he termed it "before any of the cars could get me"). Fortunately for me, I wasn't THAT stupid...
