I played "house". I was always the "mommy", when I had to cook it was a salad with leaves from a tree in the garden. I made my "children" eat them... LOL.

Your turn.

when i played house, i always wanted to be the dog!

Uh, well strange story, but as a kid. I would make up little stories and then go outside with candy and feed my invisible friends, and make then watch me perform the stories i've written.

Hide go get it.

4 Wheeler Dodge Ball. One person would ride while everyone else tried to hit the 4-wheeler with balls. I don't my parents knew about that one. lol

"The linoleum pattern is Lava" disco edition. Called it that because I'd hop from design to design in a way that literally looked like some kind of odd interpretive disco dance.

Then, there were the one-room apartment plays about a husband and wife living together. The husband would just lay in bed, be lazy, watch TV. The wife was the busy one. Busy putting on her makeup trying to be sexy for her husband in bed. Sometimes she'd as for money, sometimes she'd just be trying to get his attention. These were doll plays, btw. I used a bald Black Cabbage Patch baby boy and a Baby Alive doll.

Next was "whisper to your friends about the Spice Channel" This was back in the day when Spice Channel was hot and all we had was the scrambled version. We had a TV where you could fool around a bit and get a decent quickie view. It was sort of like "Telephone" but um...yeah...a bit more filthy.

Finally, my action figure plays. They ranged from things like "beauty girls getting cute in the bedroom" and "Princess Guenevere, warrior Princess". (Xena was super hot in those days.) There was always a regal theme, or romance. There was always a sexy villain and tons of accessories. All the sets were under this huge lamp on my nightstand.

Red light. Green light. 1, 2, 3!

I often won, not because I was the fastest, but because I could freeze the best!

I used to love to play Bloody Murder when I was a kid. It was a cross between baseball, dodge ball and hide and seek. Someone was it. The others would hide and when "it" was done counting, the others had to try to get through each base without being hit by "its" ball. And you could only play it at night. It was so much fun!

I played Charlie's Angels with the girl next door.
I was always Kelly.

She once threatened to tell my mom because I wouldn't do something she said. I told her, "Fine . I'll tell yours you showed me your lady entrance and let me touch it (which she did).

That calmed her ass considerably.

Hop scotch. What's up with that anyway?

They always made me be Bosley. Fucking bitches. In my head, though, I pretended to be Jill Monroe, because she had that totally bitchin' car that I loved.

When you're a gay kid you gotta have somethin to hold over a bitch's head so you can get your play on.

Yeah, even a gay kid has to keep his (figurative) pimp hand strong.

One of my favorite toys was a broomstick (SHUT UP ).
It was a gun, a sword, a magical staff (not a disco stick)...all kinds of things.

I'd go out in the backyard and fight monsters (which unfortunately were my mother's plants ).

My friend and I once made up a whole country that was ours. We had a national anthem and a pledge of allegiance and a map of the land (that led to buried treasure somehow). We even buried the treasure, which contained artifacts of our country (in a coffee can). We used our map later to dig it up and find it and it wasn’t there. I always thought my friend went back by herself and did it first, but she wouldn’t admit to it. Maybe it was her brother…

I remember kids in my elementary school always played a game they called “girls vs. boys” at recess. It seemed to revolve around girls chasing the boys or vice versa but I don’t know that anyone was ever caught and even if they were, I don’t think much happened. I never played. I was too shy.

I'm a huge Kick the Can guy

It wasn't really a game, but after a good snowfall, my brother would hook up one of those lil bobsleds to his dirt bike and drag me around the yard. It was totally fun.
