Light as a feather…stiff as a board…light as a feather stiff as a board…

Man, I miss that! It was so cool! That and Ouija boards which were SO real to me back then. Oh, but how we loved to freak each other out! Oh and Sardines in the dark! Where one person would hide and when you found them, you’d would join them until all but one of you was still searching. In the dark made it so much more fun. You could hide almost in plain site and not be found forever!

I can remember just waiting for it to get dark and parents to go to sleep. We would turn off all the lights and leave only one small light on (either the one over the stove if the kitchen was near or a light in another room with the door cracked). Everyone wanted to be the first to lay down and have her friends encircle them and start the chant as they were lifted into the air.

I don’t think we were all that mean to each other or played tricks. I do remember Amy Boero’s mom’s amazing blueberry pancakes in the morning!

Drats, now I want to have a slumber party!
