Maybe so you could find your bikes easier in those crowded bike racks? Who knows. Makes me think of all the old people in FL who put flowers and crap on their car antennas so they can find them in parking lots!

My "Hornet 1"'s seat was made to look like a motorcycle's. And in those days we didn't wear helmets.(Explains a lot.

I always thought those flafs looked dumb, BTW.

We played four square....remember that game? If not, you had four people, drew a tic-tac-toe on the ground and closed it up so you have four squares...dur. LOL Then, you got a kickball (another game we played, in school, anways) and hit it into the other person's square. If the ball went out of the square, you're out. Stupid game. LOL

In PE class, we played:

Red Rover (!!!)
Kickball
Softball (My fave game!! I hit a homer in 5th grade!! Shocked the boys who were screaming "Move in....easy out!!" LOL)
Soccer (HATE soccer!!)
Basketball
Tennis (HATE tennis!!)

For fun, some would play:
Butt's Up (LMAO!! Who in their right mind....)
Football
Volleyball

At home, I'd play:

Detective on my bike (Yeah, I was VERY imaginative as a kid. LOL Also, we just sold my favorite bike in our garage sale recently and a little part of me, died, I think. LOL)
Atari and later...Nintendo
Volleyball
Badmitton
School (with friends....why would I wanna be a teacher, I don't really like kids.

LOL)
rollerskate (My fave thing to do as a kid!!)
I played so much music as a kid...records, tapes, the radio...whatever. I made tapes of myself singing and talking. I'm an only child, so...LOL

In PE we used to play bombardment, which was like dodgeball but with a pin on each side that the teams had to protect. What we called dodgeball was when one team would form a circle around the other & the team making the circle would try to peg those inside the circle.

Skating was huge in the late '70s/early '80s. My tenth birthday party was at a rink. (Many of my friends had bowling parties, which I hated.

We should only have known the kinds of extravagant parties that my current students have.

Carol

I never played that, but how much fun was Keep Away!

Please, no more details about your butt.

I think I remember that game. Reminds me of the card games we played with sadistic glee, like Bloody Knuckles.

Speaking of being buried, My Mom now wants to be buried face down, So at the funeral ceremony those in the world of the living will have pass her by to kiss her ass.

The most important thing I ever learned from my Mother is the following:
"If you can't dazzle 'em with intelligence, Dazzle 'em with Bullsh-t".

I thought the cleavage strategy was the most important thing you ever learned from her.

Also, the few times when I invited one of my school girlfriends over to play (they were invariably skinny, smart sickly types) it was so boring and they asked "can we play dolls?" or something equally lame, and i would force them to play jumprope or foursquare and would beat them (at the game, not physically) so much that it wasn't that fun. When i went to their house, they wanted me to play dolls, but i didn't really know what to do with them and begged them to play outside with me.
The End.....

Sorry, I hope you're not offended, this just sounds like something in the musical "Annie", or something an old person would brag about to great-grandchildren. "In my day, there weren't no automobiles, we walked for our milk...uphill...And the girls was all sickly, I tell ya...And we was po..."

I played with Legos as well, plus my brother had Lincoln Logs. Remember Silly Putty and Play-Doh (which I teach with!)?

You do realize this is toilet paper you're supposedly describing. What good is it if it doesn't take Sh!t?!

No, neither one of us is adopted. I would just tell him that because neither one of us wanted to believe we were related to those wack jobs.

I know, I know, but that was really my life. But i was in hella good shape, got a great education, know how to amuse myself BY myself (only child) and since i am such a good reader, school was always pretty cake-walk for me. Well, math and science were more of a pie walk, or a scone walk, but....
That reminds me of a good story where i accidentally made my sickly friend break her arm. We were on the parallel bars at school, see. I didn't really understand that not everyone was as good at athletic things as i was. So i was like, c'mon, do a cherry drop, they're easy and fun!!! Look!!!! See!!! Nothing to it!!!! C'mon, you'll love it!!! then - *flail* snap! the arm was broken. She got the last laugh, she got to play Helen Keller in community theatre play, and she got a better part in the class play. And of course everyone paid attention to her cause she had a cast and had to write with her left hand. Even though I didn't do anything on purpose, I still feel Karma exacted it's retribution!
