I wish every child could have grown up in a small rural town. But you couldn't get away with anything! EVERYONE literally knew one another since birth! I have been spanked by a neighbor for throwing rocks at her house and then got it worse at home! Not because I threw rocks, but my dad was so embarrassed I did something that a neighbor had to spank me he was furious with me! As teens getting pulled over for rowdiness & crazy driving was like having your uncle catch you cause we all knew the local officers like that. If you outran them in your car, they just went to your house and were having coffee with your folks waiting on you to come home, they everyone and every car and where it parked at night. But it was amazing...

That is great !!! Those are wonderful memories. Like the Walton life a bit.
