I remember spaldeens too. My concern about child's play today is so much of it seems to be organized by adults. When we were kids we had to administer the rules ourselves, heck sometimes we even had to make the "rules" ourselves. AND we had to learn "judgement" and how to administer the rules and/or the punishment. We had to learn how to be fair because next time something happened it might be us on the "receiving" end. I feel these are "skills" that are much lacking in todays world.

: Thank You--that story made me laugh! I loved hearing the details about how you used to play stick ball when you were growing up--do kids today still play that? In my experience, too, the simple, inventive things we (middle ageish people) did as children are not done by children anymore. So when you tell your story about spaldeens, I am a rapt listener, wanting to hear the mystery of that vital, simple play and the echoes of a world that is lost now--the old country!
