It's the start of the rainy season and the dogs are already bored. It's funny because a year ago we didn't even have one dog and now we have two. One dog is hard enough to keep track of, but two... wow, are they terrors when they get together... especially these two. They are too smart for their own good, and being cooped up in the house all day makes for some frustrated dogs.
Which kind of made me start thinking about grade school. We used to love rainy days. Recess was held inside. We could draw on the blackboards. Gym was held in the parish hall, and when they had just polished the floors you could take your shoes off and slide all over the place. Or we did folk dancing. I honestly think I can remember the steps to some of those dances... for some reason, the song "Never on a Sunday" is coming to my head... weird.
We played games like Duck, Duck Goose and Heads Up, Seven Up!
I wonder if any of my classmates ever cheated and looked down at the shoes when you were supposed to keep your eyes closed. It was so hard though, waiting, with that thumb stuck up in the air, wondering if you were going to get picked. Or standing in the front of the room, wondering if that cute boy would realize it was you... tapping his finger... letting him know you were thinking about him...
Yeah, grade school memories...
Although, I think I could still hold my own in Duck, Duck, Goose...
not sure my knees can though...

I do remember 7 UP and trying to get through recess time on rainy days. Made you feel kind of bad for the teachers that they often didn't get a break on days like that!
