We tried to stay away from the killing! <br /><br /> That buckeye on a stick sounds like a KIller.

I never heard of this game before but it sounds like it was an important ritual with boys. In my youth, my brothers played with cap guns and I hated the noise they made, but they had fun.<br /><br />JB<br /><br /><br />Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.com
