Tag and Kiss Chase

This was a game I sure remember playing as a kid and no doubt if were socially possible to today I would gladly. The game involves one or more of you chasing other players with the aim of touching them generally with your hands.
Two or more players decide who is going to be 'it' using a counting out game such as Enny Meany, miny, moe and the one designated 'it' then chases the others attempting to get close enough to tag them - a touch of their hand - that makes that person 'it' and so it continues usually to the end of recess at schools.
In some forms it's deemed if you are on or touching a safe are then you can't be tagged cos it's off limits.

There was a form of it I well remember well from primary school 'cos we played it all the time called Kiss Chase.
The main difference is the tag is done by kissing rather than a touch of the hand and typically all of us of one gender are 'it' at the same time and chase the others of the opposite gender until everyone is caught at which point the team that was caught becomes it.
I really loved playing kiss chase between 8 and 11 years of age.

Knicker lore

Even your everyday lingerie isn't about you in school or at least wasn't in the schools I attended

They set out in the uniform policy the colour and brand you were wearing five days a week nothing remotely appealing to boys with very modest cuts and they too were subject to inspection so if you thought you were above the teachers, you'd be spanked for that too.

School PE

PE or Physical Exercise as distinct from   Games was a big part being a Junior where I did climb ropes, bars and do Gymnastics when I remembered to bring my PE kit to school and did continue to around 14 at my Senior School although by then study time was creeping in and the only real exercise was weekly swimming.
Being transgendered I longed to do this in the girls PE kit which included Gym Knickers and a short plain Games Skirt rather than shorts although today it's common t o see Junior girls wearing them and I do own a pleated traditional games skirt which if I could to to an age-play school I'd happily wear for doing PE in as in all honestly I could use the exercise!

Wombling Free!

Well none of us of a certain age can forget the Wombles, ecological warriors and cute cuddly creatures from the 1970's and as a child i look forward to watching every episode.

Here's a link to the online Museum:

Tidy Bag - The Online Wombles Museum

This also has links to various currently available merchandise.
There is a lovely two DVD box set in recycled cardboard featuring all 60 original episodes in order which I recently purchased.

Wheat from chaff

Facing up to your responsibility as a parent  may be difficult but having to discipline us may mean you see where you're insufficiently grown up yourself because you can't see why you need to raise a child and have that Adult sense of responsibility to it and not be it's best friend.

 This was a conversation I never had with either of my parents and I hate to say it, you can tell by how I relate to people apart from my attitudes and behaviour as I tend to think you're totally onside with me no matter what or you really hate me cos you're not letting me do what I feel like.
Childish I know, getting me into trouble I can't seem to stop this immaturity by myself. (sighs)

School Uniformed Life

This kind of uniform with blazer over blouse tie and skirt was very much a part of my own experience as a child because this was what girls generally wore to school. You cannot help but notice it just doesn't compliment their appearances but it looks very smart as well as defining you a school girl.
If you were in the 5th form (14 1/2  thru 15) or above you could wear tights usually a plain colour such as tan, blue, black or grey instead of knee socks

Of course any part of being a school child included shared interests of which a big one is comics and for me it was the British Comic, the Beano with it's adventures that we shared especially in my boarding school.
Recently it has been celebrating its 70th anniversary with a special soft back magazine edition that I bought back in July and this exhibition.

Teddy bears picnic

While it's still warm despite being the onset of Autumn term, one thing I'd love is to do a teddy bears picnic but one that at least allows for adult but child people like me to attend and just play or one especially just for us.
It would be oh so relaxing I feel.
