Aubrey, my first grader, sat at the kitchen table doing her homework.
“Momma,” she asked “what is Kick the Can?”
Me: A game.
Aubrey: Have you played it before?
Me: I don’t think so.
Aubrey: What is it?
Me: It’s a game they played before there were balls. You can call Shuggie and ask her about it.
My mother is going to kill me.
Nice. I believe Kick the Can was invented back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.

My daughter has been learning about “then” and “now” in kindergarten. She came home one day last week and asked me what it was like when I was a kid because we didn’t have TV then. Seriously. I can’t THAT old kid! ha ha ha!!!
…So my tired fingers can’t type tonight, ha ha!!
I meant to type “I ain’t THAT old kid! ha ha ha”
This tired OLD mom needs some sleep!
Heeeyyyy! I played ‘Kicked the Can’ , and yes we did have balls, we just couldn’t find them!!
Ha! You said balls! Sorry, but it’s 3:30 in the AM and I’m kind of loopy from dehydration.*chuckles and repeats “balls” a few more times*

How is this for a little twist? My kids picked up on this game and showed it to me. I thought it was a new thing, you know how everyone is crazy about recycling. They aren’t allowed to play dodgeball or Red Rover, but I guess this old game is politically correct.
