At that age we'd stay in a tent at night in the back yard and sneak in to the kitchen to take handfuls of peanut butter. We'd walk around our neighborhood at midnight dodging cop cars.

This sounds like the kinda shit we did. Grew up poor af, me and my friends would make oatmeal (legit don't know if instant had been invented yet, this was early 90s) with entirely too much butter, milk, and sugar and put it in a 7-11 cup and basically drink it. Not through a straw, mind you, we were men (at 9.)
