What did you used to pretend when you were a kid. I could find a nook in the woods

5. Hahahaha!!!!

Bless your Nanny... I don't think I would have been able to stifle my laughter either. Oh, and that's what I am to my grandkids...."Nanny"...

Anyway, my mom had this huge old lilac bush next to the house. I mean it was really huge! It also had openings through it, like paths.

So we would bring our little kiddie chairs set outside, and set them up inside the lilac bush and pretend it was an airplane.

If not that, I would pretend it was a jungle (I loved the old "Jungle Jim" and "Tarzan" movies back then) and go on expeditions.

When it rained out, my sisters and I would play "Christmas". One of us would pretend to be sleeping, and the other two would wrap up various toys in newspaper and put them by the bed, whereupon the "sleeper" would wake up and unwrap the "presents".

One game my parents didn't find all that funny....the mashed potato balls fights. Mashed potatoes made one of my sisters gag, so she would hide them at dinnertime, then we would make balls out of them and bomb each other in the bedroom we all shared.

good times
