As I said, to me, that's bombardment minus the pins. You don't know from dodgeball until you've been inside that circle.

We didn't live near woods, but one day a few of us decided to run away to live under a tree in the back driveway on the other side of the street. It was not Eden, it turns out.

At school, I played jump-rope (then Chinese jump-rope) a lot. We'd also make up dances. I can still do the one to "I Think We're Alone Now."

What's Chinese jump-rope?

BTW, you know now if we ever meet you at a show, we're going to make you do that dance.

It's a thin, elliptical-shaped rope. Two people stand facing each other a few feet apart with the rope around their ankles or legs. Then everyone else jumps in, out, and over the rope. There's lots of variations on the tricks you can do.

No there isn't. I never even learned regular jump-rope. I don't think I could handle it in a different language.

Jump "in it, out it, side it, side it, on it, in it, out it"!! hehehe....Then do it clapping, with your eyes closed, etc. After you pass each round without messing up, you raise the rope to mid-calf....Then after you pass each round at mid-calf, you raise it to knee height. I loved Chinese jump rope!

yep, you get blindfolded and you must catch the other kids while they're running near you. If you catch one, the one that gets caught is the blind rooster this time.

That sounds like another opportunity for us bastards to head inside for the air conditioning.
