Childhood Upbringing

We may become a host family for Safe Families for Children.  The application required a description of my childhood.  Here's what I wrote:

"My parents have been married for 45 years.  I grew up in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and our family had six kids - all boys except the youngest (Kadi).  As boys, we had an idyllic childhood.  We lived on a small tree nursery farm w/ a creek that we fished in a lot.  The country roads didn't have much traffic, and we could ride our bikes into town or to nearby dairy farms where we would build forts in hay barns with our friends.  Our father was a pilot.  He had a grass runway on the farm, and a small airplane.  He taught us how to fly.  I love my dad, adore my mother, and enjoy great relationships with my siblings.  My parents disciplined us in a variety of ways.  As young kids we would sit in a coat closet for most offenses, and get the belt for the major ones.  As we got older we lost our bike privileges and car privileges.  We kept a family journal (the blue book), which allowed for open communication and entertainment.  We always had chores, ranging from household to outdoor farm duties."
