maleficent

When I was stuck inside on rainy days, my bridge playing parents used to have tons of decks of cards which would keep me entertained for hours, I used to build enormous houses and villages of cards in the living room. Every so often, I still do now, it's a nice destressor.

The only girl thing I ever really had was a jump rope.

The tire swing in the back yard was also lots of fun.. We had two in one tree, and we'd play bumper tires, take a kid on each tire, dont get in the tire yet, but pull it as far back as you can, aimed toward each other, jump on the tire and wait for the collissio, if you fell off, you lost.

I lived two streets off of a main road, the first street off the main road was a pretty steep hill that evenually turned into my street. (if I ever went back to that town< i'd probably realize ithad a not much of an incline, but when you are 8, it was huge) We'd race down the hill on our bikes... No brakes... and if you were really brave, no hands, It's amazing I survived childhood with all my teeth, and without scrambling my brain.
