I would never think of throwing darts or shooting clips or hair pins at anyone. They were just for bragging rights about how deep we could sink them into a non living target. We knew they could be lethal.
Did you go to school in the North?
You are 100% correct rw. Complete foolishness. (It was not an every day thing like mumbly-peg but idiotic nonetheless, even tho 95% of the tosses were at targets other than fellow kidlettes). Dumb little kids do dumb little things on occasion and Darts in class was one of ‘em! I only ‘played’ a few times, I wasn’t one of the ‘regulars’, but sill even once was stupid. Oh well, it was a hell of a long time ago. I think I’ll just try and remember good school times, like trying to talk the teach into bringing in her radio at World Series time!
