...you can't read a hopscotch chalk anymore.
I walked down the street to the mailboxes tonight and amid all the drawings on the sidewalk there was the most complicated hopscotch chalk I had ever seen, with 40 squares. I stood there trying to figure out how you would even play (I could see my way through the 8th square and then it turned into some sort of hell). The two little girls were up on their porch so I just said "How do you do this?"
And then we played hopscotch. I have to admit they lost me on their logic a few times, but I had to allow that some things have changed in the 32 years since I last played and quite possibly they were more informed than me, but still....Part of me was just glad to know that kids anywhere still play this.
