Light as a feather…stiff…

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on May 25, 2004 by Streetplay DiscussionsMay 25, 2004

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!

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on May 18, 2004 by Streetplay DiscussionsMay 18, 2004

About the crab apple fights,I had a friend who thought his dad was crazy as a result of those fights. Then I had to admit we had our own version in Texas. If we got together five dollars, we got 100 lbs of ice. Half of us had the roof, the others had the low ground. We never named it, but I can still dodge pretty well for a big man because of it.

This wasn’t really a game…

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on May 10, 2004 by Streetplay DiscussionsNovember 19, 2014

This wasn’t really a game per se but a form of keep-away. For example — “Selugee from Condoleezza!!!” and everyone would exclude her from the riotous game of keep away.It was commonly used to torture a younger or less powerful child — taking their special toy or mitt. I grew up in suburban New York in the 1950s and 60s. Anyone? Nomi

I still have my two Ginny…

Streetplay Discussion Archive Posted on May 8, 2004 by Streetplay DiscussionsOctober 20, 2014

I still have my two Ginny dolls, and the little case with their clothes and shoes. The clothes hung on little hangers. One outfit was a dark blue velvet skating outfit with tiny white skates. Also I loved paper dolls, would make them clothes by tracing around and then coloring them. Do kids even play with paper dolls these days? They were so much fun.
