Nope, it was with a football, you only had one touch to kick the ball back against the wall, after your mate kicked it off it.

No singing involved.

Hahaha. It's a good thing you're only 12, or that post would have a totally different meaning.

Er, wait...you are only 12 right?

Old Merrie Melodies, Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry cartoons. They don't show them much on telly any more but when I see them, I remember being called in to watch the cartoons by my mum. It was always great fun to hear the opening theme

we called that cannonball. we also used to play kerbsie where you both stood on opposite sides of the road and bounced the ball off the kerb. one point if it rolled back, 5 points if it bounced back and you caught it in the air. if you did you got to go into the middle of the road to throw, then it was points galore

good times

Happy memories of...
summer evenings in town square, watching the old folks dance
chasing fireflies and listening to crickets chirping
eating juicy watermelons with neighbors
sitting on the porch with my pop, eating fresh peaches
the sound of our rickety screen door slamming
laying under the stars and daydreaming with my mom
