Kick the can is a great game. Some of the most statisfying memories of my youth are from kicking the can at the last moment and setting everyone free which started the game all over again.
Ah, the memories of a happy youthhood, sir.
Kicking the can across the vast wide prairies.
I was younger, and smaller, than the other participants, and so found it easier to hide myself. I guess it was more "special" because it was during the summertime, and after dark. Young children were supposed to be in bed by the time it got dark, but my parents allowed me to stay out later.....if it was "only" to play kick-the-can with the older kids of the area.
