Which flavor popsicle tastes the best. Which swing on the playground goes the highest. Where to meet up after dark to go hunting for ghosts. There are certain things that you can only learn before the age of twelve – and certain things you can only learn from other kids while the adults remain adorably clueless.
#12. Break your mother’s back.
“Don’t step on the lines.”
#11. Jingle bells.
“Jingle bells Batman smells”
#10. When I was young.
“How to make one of those origami fortune teller things.
I’m not sure if kids still do it, but when I was young how to fold a single page note into an envelope to give to a friend.”
#9. Eeny meeny.
“Methods to decide who is “it”. Bubble gum, bubble gum in a dish.
Eeny meany miney moe. Etc.”
#8. I died laughing.
“As an elementary school kid from 89-96 when talking about our boy parts we refferred to them as “Nards”. I am 14 years older than one of my brothers and when he was in the 3rd grade he was telling a story about how ball hit him in his “Nards”. I died laughing that day as I had totally forgot about calling them that.”
#7. Definitely go ask.
“That if one parent says no, definitely go ask the other parent to see if they’ll say yes.”
#6. Buy me a coke.
“That you yell “Jinx!” when you say something at the same time as someone. May also involve counting to ten and proclaiming that the other person owes you a coke.”
#5. Pea green soup.
“I always knew it as various prompts. You’d prompt someone to repeat the same phrase in response to you. So for example, pea green soup.
“What’d you have for breakfast.”
“Pea green soup”
“What’d you have for lunch?
“pea green soup”
What’d you have for dinner?”
“pea green soup”
“What’d you have for a snack?”
“Pea green soup”
“What’d you do all night?
“Pea green soup”
giggles”
#4. No one was told.
“That when you’re in the car and it’s raining, you watch raindrops run down the windows and pretend they’re racing each other. No one was told to do this. Yet somehow everyone did.”
#3. MASH.
“The MASH (Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House) game to predict our futures haha.”
#2. The right way.
“Waving pencils the right way makes them look rubbery.”
#1. That one thing.
“That thing where you wiggle your middle fingers upside down? Anybody know what I’m talking about? Where you put your hands together and it’s like some Egyptian seeming thing?”
