[syrenn]

The Friday Five is something I have enjoyed on many forums. How about we all have some fun with it here.




1. As a child, what was your favorite toy?
2. Were you more likely to play by yourself or with other children?
3. What was your favorite children's game?
4. What kind of play were you most interested in?
5. How well did you share?

1. my bicycle during the day... my matchbox cars in the evenings...
2. sorta depended on whatever was going on in my life at any particular time... but I was prone to spending a lotta time by myself... either exploring the woods in back of my neighborhood or some other spaced-out kinda thing...
3. tag... hide & seek... dodgeball...
4. guerrilla war games in the woods...
5. usually fairly well... but it sorta depended on what I was being asked to share...

1. Depends on age.... One of my favorites was a die cast truck that I would pull behind myself with a string. The string was my "remote control". When I was older I would hunt grasshoppers in my backyard with my BB gun. I would feed the grasshoppers to my cat.
2. Equal. I enjoyed playing with friends but also content playing by myself.
3. I loved to rough house with my friends.... Tackle football, king of the hill, backyard wrestling. I also liked board games like monopoly and life.
4. See number 3.
5. I had an older brother so I always wanted to play with his cool stuff rather than my "baby" stuff. It pissed him off when I broke his things. But my brother and I learned to share very well.

[MENTION=44536]BobPlumb[/MENTION]

I love the "remote control"! When you broke things....was it beyone repair or just little things and you could still play with it.

[MENTION=23424]syrenn[/MENTION]

It is called different things...you take a baseball, take the cover off - and pack as much plastic bag material or socks/cloth etc. that you can.
And then play baseball.
The result is a ball that you can't hit very far no matter how hard you hit it. And to get someone out you can throw the ball and hit them with it while they are running bases.
You can play a pretty good game of baseball in a small lot doing this vs. a real ball that can be hit several hundred feet.

 

[syrenn]

1. A red firetruck I could ride around in.
2. Both.
3. English Bulldog and Scully.
4. Lots of rough housing.
5. Very well.

[MENTION=25283]Sallow[/MENTION]

did the firetruck ever make you want to be a fireman when you grew up?

 

[Amelia]

1. transistor radio
2. alone
3. hide and seek -- I was the best hider ever!
4. play? as in activity or theatrical performance? For an activity, I liked origami.
5. not very well -- I was always impressed by people who would give cool stuff away -- I couldn't

[MENTION=28109]Amelia[/MENTION].

A transistor radio was your favorite toy? Alright ill ask.... how did you play with that?

It came with a leather holder which I attached it to my bike. It featured in my plans for how I was going to be able to carry everything I needed around with me so I could take off at a moment's notice. So maybe I coulda said my bike was my favorite toy, but when I got the radio is when it became really cool.
