The beautiful tropics in the dry season. The days are warm but not hot. It's just a perfect time of year and what better time of the year could there be to play spit chasey. No it's not what you think, well it is actually, but we justified it by also using water melon seeds.
The rules were simple, spit on someone and if a water melon seed stuck to them, they were it.
You start as a circle in the middle of the yard. The person who is it, said go and they had to run to the water melon take a bite and then find and chase the rest of us, spitting as you go.
Of course as in all hunting adventures, the weakest animal becomes the target and because I was the youngest, guess who got spat on the most?
As Mum would tuck me into bed at night, she could never figure out how so many water melon seeds ended up stuck in my hair.
It was a childhood game, that as siblings, the 5 of us shared. As mature adults, when we get together and eat water melon we calmly spit the seeds on the ground. Yer right, we run around like children spitting at each other. Sent back in time to rekindle the bond that hold us together. The only difference is my brothers have become very good hockers.
Yes, water melon in the tropics, awesome time of year.

ReplyDeleteJulie, this Daily Prompt Writing is ending up being a great way to record all your memories for your eventual life story. Would you have necessarily included this memory if it wasn't for the prompt???
Go back and edit your apostrophe s'eses though. You have a few in the wrong place.
Your pic is up for tomorrow.
