I Like Roleplaying

it wasn't a farm that i grew up on, just my dad inherited a lot of land when his parents died. we were expected to be where we could be seen or heard by our parents. the only exception was when, me mostly would go next door to my aunt's. while my cousin was much older, i was closer to him than my siblings, and my aunt and uncle were like a second set of parents. it would have been an ideal place for games like you mentioned and given the chance i would have been doing the same as you. i had often daydreamed of such things. i don't fault my parents being the way they were, i understand that mom especially was just doing the best she could, she had married very young and didn't have a very good childhood with an abusive drunk for a father who didn't stay in one place for very long, she had said it wasn't unusual to come home from school and find he had the truck loaded they'd be off to somewhere else. my dad's parent were quite older when he was born and had died when he was young so not much there to go on either.

i do find your hints at stories to be quite interesting and intriguing
