Do you remember the rhymes we said when we jumped rope? Did you choose up teams for stick ball? I was always the last chosen. I know why now. How many skinned knees did you get? I was too chicken to fall out of a tree.

I didn't do the jump rope thing,...that was for girls! We dug fox holes, played army, blew up our GI Joe's with firecrackers, built tree houses in the woods, played in the stream until we had leaches hanging off our legs,..... walked the railroad tracks picking elderberries, then we'd sell them to the neighbor ladies. We rode mini bikes, made go carts and actually coasted them down the same street that cars went on,...(lucky we didn't get killed).....all in the great State of Ohio!
