#26: Just Walk it Off
Let’s face it. Gen X got up to some shenanigans that were pretty dangerous. From monkey bars to daredevil stunts, we all probably have some experiences that we realized were “close calls” as adults. That’s not to say that these borderline-catastrophic moments weren’t fun, though. In fact, they usually turned into the most fun memories from childhood.
Parents were built differently, too. Looking back, it’s pretty amazing that most Gen Xers got up to no good, and their parents just had them walk it off. Did Timmy almost die jumping off a 10-foot playset at the park? No big deal! Just tell him to dust himself off and try again.
