I was a spunky kid too! I got into lots of trouble for things I shouldn't be doing. I guess the problem was that I had had no fear and didn't think about the consequences.
From the perspective of the kid at the other end of the spectrum, you might have got into trouble, but you also did a lot of things. When you're a kid, being a fearful introvert just seems like how things are, but now I wonder how things could have been different. Mum sometimes thinks maybe she should have made me do more things, but I think she was right not to. It would have had to come from inside.
Everyone is different including kids. I have four sons. Two were extremely adventurous and got into lots of trouble. Two were more introverted. All have grown up to be fine young men and have families of their own. I have seven grandchildren and they too are all different. God help my oldest son, as he has has a daughter just like I was...of course, he should be familiar, he was exactly the same when he was young!
I never thought I was invincible. I think I was born fearful. Maybe Michelle got my share of spunk.

I think it was the 'Consequences? What consequences?' thing with me...
