Marie, You reminded me of another fun,simplistic and yet educational game of my childhood to share with my grandchildren.Thank you. Our culture ,perhaps because of TV,video games and other modern intrusions,is missing the opportunities to pass on what used to be universal "rights of passage"through the generations.Things such as a grandparent playing jacks or jump rope with their grandchildren,rocking on a shaded porch reading aloud,or telling a story are essential to cementing a bridge through the generations. I suspect that few of today's incarcerated criminals recall a parent or grandparent spending the time with them to instill pieces of their childhood memories into them. Parents,grandparents,teach your children the importance of passing down your traditions.Often while doing just that ,we regain pieces of our childhood,and find peace and calmness in our topsy-turvy world,if only for a few minutes.
