What was your favourite game when you were a child?

Just 'pretend'. Our 'pretend' games were often complex. We had 'Mother' (our hippie camper) parked on the side of an arroyo in Ziracuaretiro, Michoacan, and I would make little people out of the clay that was plentiful on the banks of the arroyo near the water, I built people and towns and had a blast! I made sail boats out of water hyacinth pods. I would split them in half and put a twig in for a mast with a leaf for a sail. Those were wonderful and terrible days!
