I came from a large family, so dodgeball really fit into our game playing dynamic. I don't know if it teaches life skills or not, but I think that it can sharpen physical skills and reflexes. It can be fun if everyone plays in the spirit of the game and isn't out to specifically hurt others--that requires a certain amount of supervision so that that doesn't happen.
I do think that it did teach me that some people are mean and that you need to learn to deal with their shit.
The first time I was hospitalized as a child, I was very disappointed to be in my own room.
Hilary Swank should sue.Yeah. And she should use any monies awarded to buy a freaking cheeseburger. Mischa looks cute with her freckles showing.
I played this all the time, though not at school. It was a neighborhood game.
That's what I meant by not playing it on the playground. It was a back yard game (or played on a nearby college sports field and the surrounding woods - a lot of my friends while growing up had parents who were Bowdoin profs. or alumni, so we felt entitled and pretty much got away with it; later it became frisbee/party central during high school).
Smear the Queer is actually a really good self-adjusting game for a group of kids...It looks like anarchy, but it's anarchy which gives the kids playing a chance to play to their strengths.
Been said before, and will be said again: Robin is wise.
Scrappy, however, is an inferno.
new definition of earworm. High EEEEEWWWWWWW warning.

This is key. A group of neighborhood kids used to play it and it was fine (even though we did break some windows!) However, I HATED HATED HATED it when it was a compulsory activity at school. It was awful then.
High EEEEEWWWWWWW warning.The warning was there--as big as life. Why did I ignore it? Why? Why? Why?

I hated gym in general because I felt awkward and clumsy from the time I was 11 on. Once I got into middle school, gym was DAILY torture. Undressing and standing around in the gym with a bunch of girls I didn't know that well probably put me off exercise for life.
I wish there was some way to make gym class fun without the stress. I stopped taking phys ed classes as soon as I was able and promptly gained 50 lbs in high school.
OK, mortgage agents calling just to find out where to send information freak me out.
I think if I do end up buying a house? I'm going to end up more spastic than my psycho kitty. Good lord.
My ears itch a lot.
ita, it's probably just an allergy
