    So I was reading a Terry Pratchett book last night and a thought struck me.
    I didnt know the rules or even how to play hop scotch!!!

    Now you may think this is a trivial affair but it got me thinking, firstly what are the rules of hop scotch and secondly if I can not remember the rules to a simple game I wonder what else have I forgotten from childhood.

    Do people think there is any worth in any of the stuff forgotten in their childhood?
    Just an observation plus I'm bored in work...

    Well you arent' the only one who can't remember. It's sad really, because kids today don't really play anymore. They have their mobiles and their games consoles so they've little interest in the fun you can have drawing squares on the ground with chalk.

    MAn I miss being young. My mate had his twenty seventh birthday a few weeks ago and his brother said to him, " Remember 13 years ago, you were only 14. You were in secondary school and it really only seems like yesterday, and it's weird how time has flown by. Well, in 13 years time you'll be 40!" and then he started laughing at him. This kind of freaked me out! I miss being young and carefree :D
