Today in Friday Writers. Boy that was fun!
We played school, Four Square, marbles, teacher, home-maker, Star Wars, nothing at all, in the sandbox, in the attic, with our kids, alone, in Minnesota, Los Angeles, in the fifties sixties, seventies, and eighties, etc, etc etc... until, like Jacki Paper to Puff, we stopped coming out to play. Stopped believing. We lamented that, wondered about it, knew we couldn't stop it from happening to our kids... wondered why suddenly things get and look so flat and real. Buzz kill: party's over.
But it was fun to play. Felt reeeeallll good! Like playing again. Writing does that!
Try: What did you play as a child?
