Embolden the ones you did before you were 11 ¾ (as far as you can remember!)
Italicise the ones you have done since then.

(childhood ends at 12? i beg to differ. *points at icon*)

1. Climb a tree – yes. not too far, i'm not good with heights

2. Roll down a really big hill – fairly big. and at school yet. the teacher was not happy.

3. Camp out in the wild – no

4. Build a den. – some kind of blanket den.

5. Skim a stone. – never could.

6. Run around in the rain – often. when i got a bit older too.

7. Fly a kite – yes. not very well.

8. Catch a fish with a net. – no. but i did want to go fishing as a kid for some reason.

9. Eat an apple straight from a tree. – yes, pears & peaches too.

23. Visit an island – not that i recall.

24. Feel like you're flying in the wind –not flying, exactly.

25. Make a grass trumpet – is that where you put a blade of grass between your thumbs & blow through it? rarely got that to work.

26. Hunt for fossils and bones. – yes. found a cool fish one in a piece of slate & it has since gotten lost in the shuffle of life.

Hey, I'm all for a lighter not being matches, sure! I wish I'd thought of that. I'm envious you got to have one of those cool teachers who would bring in a cocoon for the class to watch hatch out, I saw other classes who did that, never landed one though.
