Re: Medusa's Quesion du jour (the year of the horse edition!)
What was your idea of fun as a child?
I liked a lot of out side stuff. running all over the place. Playing "three flies up" that was a game where one kid hit a baseball and if you caught 3 flies you got to be up. Little thing about that..we did not have bats and balls..we "acquired" a bat and a hard ball. None of us had mits so catching the hard ball was kind of a tricky thing,what you did was as your hands got the ball,you fell and rolled to cut the speed and hurt to your hands. That's how poor kids played,and their were times when we "Acquired" other sports items to keep us busy,and out of real trouble..
