Are your ankles bad from playing Hopscotch in school at any time? If so, you're not alone. I dream of touring the world as a Hopscotch Champion. Forrest Gump and his mean game of Ping Pong would have nothing on me. NOT.
Before my parents basement was finished, there was a hopscotch painted on the floor of the family room. It was nice because I could keep up my killer hopscotch skills even in the dead of winter (pun intended). It was a sad day when the basement was finished and the carpet covered my beloved hopscotch. I still have one of my hoppy taws. I wonder how much I could sell it for on e-bay.
As a side note, it seems like the kids growing up now miss out on the activities we so enjoyed at recess in elementary school: hopscotch, jump rope, dodge ball, jacks, four square, red rover, freeze tag, kissing tag, heads up-seven up, kick soccer, etc. I miss those simple carefree days.
