The boys.

we all thought "the boys" and yourself were so cool with our toy weapons and shit. Yet, to our parents, the kid with the "Warrior's Armor" was just a 10yo with socks for mittens...

My best friend as a child lived like 4 houses down the cul de sac from us, and I was literally at his house every day.

But still, every day I'd knock and ask if he could play, despite his parents telling me over and over that I could just come inside whenever I wanted.
