I remember turning the swing set over several times. I also remember trying to swing all the way around. Mythbusters tried it and found you can't unless you have some sort of assist on the swing, even then it is very hard to do. Swings were a big source of childhood injuries.
I remember launching off them and that oh sh&t moment when flying through the air.

I could drive today to the big town and back for 60 cents , it's 35 miles each way.

Yep! And you wouldn't even have to fasten your seat belt.
 
A friend had a kid that would throw temper tantrums. Lay on the floor kicking and screaming. I dumped water on him and he never did that around me again. His dad carried water with him just waiting for a chance to soak him down. He finally got the chance in a big grocery store and that ended the temper tantrums. Except when he was with his mom. She never did anything except give him what he wanted.
 
I've got 10 yrs on you, Sentry.
I had water ready every morning for awhile when grandson would go back to bed after his alarm went off. First time was a cup. Second time was a whole bucket. He gets up, now. Whenever he has a hard time getting up, it's because he has a cell phone with video games on it someone gave to him. have confiscated 3 of them.
