Just because someone can call me Mom now doesn't mean I am gonna be Betty Freakin Cocker and bake any pies.

We were the Po people (Actually parents were frugal) so I had to hang with the kids who had the coolest toys. By the time I finally got the cool toy, it was out of style and no one would come to ME and play...

Gee Thanks now I need to see my therapist... Confusedad:

you got about 5-8 kids, you throw a tennis ball off the brick wall in back of the school or whatever
. You have to catch it off the bounce one handed. If you bobble it you gotta run up and touch the wall before anybody else grabs it and pegs you. There was some other rule i kinda forget but you had to stand with your hands against the wall and let somebody hit you with the ball if you messed up.

I'm kinda thinkin this might not be as common a game as i first thought. We used to play kill the carryer alot in grade school recess too. I don't think that stuff would fly now a days (poa)

I think I did play that in early middle school or so... It may have been slightly different, but I remember having to tag the wall if I missed the ball
