Walkie talkies are under utilized IMO

• remarkEon 8y ago
  For my birthday one year (in the spring) I got a set of walkie talkies. The neighborhood kids across the street had got the same set for Christmas that year (our parents probably coordinated it). The next two summers (age 11-12) were probably the most fun I’d have as a kid. Climbing up trees to “spy” on the neighborhood and calling in “intelligence reports” to “home base”. Just being a young boy in a neighborhood with lots of kids. Incredible fun.

    I got a set of walkie talkies at about age 10 but one broke. So one night I was trying to fix it (testing it with the good one) when I heard a foreign voice crackling through. After getting over the initial surprise I talked to the person and found out it was the neighbor kid playing with his. I didn't even know he had walkie talkies. We were both quite excited. Such a rare and magical event at that age.
