I still remember the year we switched from rubber balls that made a twang sound when it smacked you in the face to balls of yarn.
Us kids all asked why are we using these?
The teacher said we have to due to some kids parents not wanting their kids to get hurt.
I told my Dad what we were told and he laughed and said the pussies!
Dude me and my brothers had a game called Rock.
One of us stands on the front step in front of our front door. We all get 3 rocks (each rock had to be small enough that when you make a fist you can hide it in you palm) we throw it one at a time trying to hit the sibling on the step how many times we hit them is how many points the sibling on the step got.
Person with the lowest points wins.
Btw there was no rules on where to we can’t throw but we had to be 4 side walk squares from the front step. And the step kid could dodge the rocks but they had to stay on the step.
So a damn ball smacking us in the face was a tickle lol
