[Old Grumpy]

We had no air conditioning in our cars or houses. We had one TV and it was black and white, and only one station to watch. We played tag, sling the statue, hide and seek, rode our bikes everywhere, and while swimming, we used inner tubes.

One of the games we played as kids, both boys and girls, was Tackle Pom Pom.

There would be one person who was it, every body else would be at one end of the front yard. The "It" person would yell Pom Pom and everybody would run across the yard, to avoid being tackled.

Whoever was tackled also become it. Now two people would attempt to tackle people as they crossed. Until there was only one person left crossing, with 12 other people trying to tackle them.
