To expand on this, the things I have *not* done are played tetherball, ate bread & sugar sandwich (only sugar on the bread?!), clipped cards to bike spokes, can't remember riding in the back of a pickup, although on a wagon being pulled by a pickup for hayrides, absolutely, and made a cootie catcher... what the heck *is* that?!

When we'd go camping, we specifically bought Jiffy Popcorn to make over the open fire

I own a Teatherball

16 I had to look up Cootie Catcher, I never heard of that. One of the alternatives was Fortune Teller,
and that's what we called it!

17, but I don't know what a cootie catcher is. Maybe I had one. I don't know.

Do you remember the Weekly Reader? I added that so I could give myself another point.

Didn’t play Red Rover and don’t know what a “coots catcher” is.

A cootie catcher, also called a paper fortune teller, is an origami game made from a square piece of paper where one person operates the cootie catcher while another chooses a color, a number, and then a final number to reveal a fortune, joke, or task.

Once I saw the picture of the cootie catcher I could add that to my list (we made them but didn’t call it anything that I can remember)… I’m not sure why #8 is on the list. It’s not like we had a choice whether we had a sibling or not! Also, re #5… we used to make cinnamon toast which was toast, butter, sugar and cinnamon. I’m not sure if that counts as a sugar sandwich or not, maybe open faced? So, with all of my over-thinking, I’ve come up with 19, including the sugar sandwich. I remember the Red Rover jingle, but I’m not sure I ever played it so I didn’t count it.
