26/Aug/20 I'm winning at hide and seek

 

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

As a little Big Guy, he used to play all sorts of games, outside.

Now, the kids play video games.  They didn't have that when the Big Guy was little.

They played:

1, 2, 3, stop light

Red Rover

Mother May I

Simon Says

All Around the World

Hop Scotch

Skipping rope

Tag

Then, there was everyone's favorite.

Hide and seek.

If you counted to 100 by 5's, there was a sing song that you would do.  Then, before you would get to 100, you would cry out, while your eyes were still covered, "Anyone that is right next to me, is automatically it!  Ready or not!  Here I come!"

You would turn around and start seeking.

One time, Tommy MacEachern, he went to the store while we were seeking for him.  Of course we gave him a "Olly olly oxen free", but he never showed up.  About 5 turns later, he showed up and hit home and declared "Not it".  We said that he cheated, but because he was older than all of us, he got a "buy" and we thought nothing more of it.
