Slingshots(made from tree branches), firecrackers, the ability to go out after dark to play anti-I over, hide and seek, pump pump pull away, kick the can, etc all have vanished from childhood. Very, very sad!
“Slingshots(made from tree branches)”
I was really bad, I had a Whamo!
We used to play “Ante Over The Shanty” with a rubber “spongeball” at a one room schoolhouse. That was 1946 and out in the boonies where we were, the spongeball was all we had.
