That you did as a kid and taught your kids to do as well. Mine is to stab big o pickles with a straw and suck the pickle piece out of the straw. then after a while the pickle looks like swiss cheese and ya eat it. I know it's goofy but they loved it.

    Bluegill fishing. Nothing finer with kids. Or grandkids.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    Catch flies in mid air. It use to fascinate my son when he was 8 or 9. He's done it for his 9 year old son, but he really doesn't care.[:(]

    my daughter was complaining about my grandson wiping boogers on the head of his bed. I jokingly told him he shouldn't do it as he was wasting them. he should roll them into little balls and flip them at people. Next weekend his other grandmother couldn't figure out what he was doing walking around rolling his fingers together and flipping them, He was only 4, till she asked him. I am not well liked on the other side of the family now.........[;)]

    Years ago we had the Great-Nephew over for the weekend.

    He left his toys all over the floor.

    I asked him, if he wanted me to pick them up for him.

    When he said yes, I picked all of them up and threw them in the trash can.

    He won't let me pick up anything for him now.

    Not enough words to tell all that I taught my kids. A lot of it stuck, some didn't. To make things short, I'd say honesty, integrity, and responsibility took precedence. I'm batting about 80% there. Out of five kids, four adhere to these principles. One thinks that the world revolves around her, and what ever kind of deceit she can pull makes her smarter than those who trust her. That was not my teaching, and is a great heartache.

    I guess 80% isn't bad, but it isn't near good enough, when you have one that is headed full steam for a train wreck of major proportions, and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. Be around to pick up the pieces, I reckon.

    I did teach them all the "pull my finger" routine, though. [:D]

    Sounds like a yeast infection.

    Magic tricks.
    I've got two jaw dropper card tricks and one disappearing object trick that's a stunner.

    So easy an 8 year old can master.

    She hasn't told the secret to two of them yet.
    And it's ok to tell the secret to the third.

    I hope she remembers to pass them on.
