ic When I was a child, I was really inventive.
I saw worlds and things and people and creatures no one else could normally see.
But I wasn't alone on that. I had my sister Alexandra, and my cousins Andrea and Adriana, Orlando and Ambar.
We created games and sotries together.
Many of mine haven't been written, because I believe them to be too girly. But if a lil girl sometime in my life tells me to tell her a sotry. I would tell her mine. Maybe I should write them down as a special girl section.
But onto the topic.
RPGs
I created, with Ale, Andrea and Adriana, an RPG called The Minga Witches.
We were 3 witches, Ale, Andrea and I, and we shared a broomstick, yep, just one. One big ass broomstick, and we flew around town and we mixed potions (it really was just melted chocolate ice cream with food colorings).
From time to time, Adriana, who was really a black unicorn cop (that awesome, I know[ she loved horses]) would chase us for prank calling him and turning his house into graham... stuff like that.
Fun activities.
(thanks for making me remember jj, don't sue the su)
At my aunt Ruthy's house I had a lot of fun.
She lives on a mountain top, and when we were kids... my cousins and I would pick dry palm tree leaves and ride them down the hills.
Once it was just me and Andrea and we fell off the leaf and rolled down the mountain and we held onto the grass "Andrea! hold onto my leg!" "Natalia! hold onto my hand!"
But Andrea rolled on and she fell onto the road..... she got scratches tho...
We walked up to the house on the road and got to her house, aunt Ruthy was saying "I told you so's" while bathing us, getting the grass off us.
Group games
Hide and seek
I LOVED hide and seek, it is by far the greatest game in my agenda. It is due to my height and compact-ness I love it. I used to plan out my new hiding place every now and then.
I'd still play it.
Cops and robbers
I liked prettending I had a gun.... but i can't remember how this one went.
The mummy
In this one, the mummy has to be blind floded, and when it touches a person, said person has to lay down, he died and stuff...
And I dunno WHY me and my cousins... when there were like 3 left ( we were 8) we would sing "aaaaayuda celestial!" (it was from a game show pacheco hosted) and the ones the mummy had killed rose up from the dead xD and there were lotsa mummies!
Conclusion:
I wish I was a child again.. just to play these. Tho... kids now don't know of these games.... I can't believe I am admitting this but... technology is making our children not learn of our culture.... and childhood games are part of it.
Do not forget them. They make you develop certain things, like following the rules to a game... songs in games.... being patient, getting along, working in group..
So yeah, be sure to teach these to your kids. =]
