In case you don't play it in the UK, essentially a group of kids would form a pretty big circle and one kid would be "it" in the middle. You got to STAY it, if you could successfully dodge a kickball being thrown at you. (a kick about the size of a soccer ball, but not as hard, the girls also used to use it to play "four square") The longer you survived NOT being hit the longer you were in the circle. Whomever successfully hit you was now "it" in the middle. Many, many variations of the game, but this was the simplest.<br /><br />Rush said "it was a great game, because you learned "heads up" and to "get the hell out of the way" and developed "speed and reflexes." Now they are encouraging kids to grow up to be wussies who can't fend for themselves if there's a little challenge, and the parents sue because little Johnny was humiliated a classmnate hit him in the butt with a kickball. Never mind no one pointed a gun at Johnny's head to play the thing in the first place." A kick ball was about the size of a volleyball, with a bit more give to it, hollow, it could smack you, but unless it hit you full in the face, no harm no foul....and you'd have had to be a comlete utter klutz to get hit full in the face with it, in which case you shouldn't have been playing the thing in the first place.gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-5483144720538735862010-03-25T11:33:47.825+00:002010-03-25T11:33:47.825+00:00I think every teenager should be made to read Rule...I think every teenager should be made to read Rule 7! :)Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13560107422129799866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-48125459630483985212010-03-25T09:49:33.488+00:002010-03-25T09:49:33.488+00:00Truth compels me to say that there's nothing i...Truth compels me to say that there's nothing in it that I can't believe Bill Gates saying.<br /><br />He was pretty much that forthright when I heard him 25+ years ago.Dominic Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514722976964423091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-15119592341258937612010-03-25T07:07:57.109+00:002010-03-25T07:07:57.109+00:00No, it's not apocryphal about the red pen.

In response to Rule 8, I heard (and I am not sure if this is true or not) that many schools have gone so far as to prohibit their teachers from grading with red pens. RED PENS! For fear that it would hurt the self-esteem of a student in high school. I think the switch was made to purple pens since purple is obviously a much more friendly color.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-60073295503007052402010-03-24T23:46:09.700+00:002010-03-24T23:46:09.700+00:00I love those sports leagues for kids which suppose...I love those sports leagues for kids which supposedly don't "keep score" because the birkenstock wearin', volvo drivin', granola eatin' simps who start the league think kids won't get their feelings hurt if there are no "winners and losers." Kids always know who won, even if THEY don't "keep score" -- the kids DO.gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.com
