What is with you Mid/East Coast girls? First babushkas tied between (I think) the lip and the chin and now hula hoops just to the knees? Sheesh -- it has to go up from the waist to the neck, down to the ankle, one foot up, foot down, up to the shoulder, down to the wrist, back to the shoulder and over to the other shoulder and wrist, back to center and down to ankle and other foot up. And they say California girls are wimps. HAH!!!

Now, double dutch was an East Coast thing. We played jump rope but individually. It was rare in California suburbs for kids to use long jump ropes. We did invite others to join our rope and jump together.

Marbles was big throughout the country. I still have my shooter and steelie.
