Heh, what did we do as kids... I can't even remember everything)). And we stole apples from places where it was only possible to do so. There was always one guy who climbed up to get them, and he often got in trouble for it... sometimes the owners would throw bricks at him, or something else, and once, a man hit him several times with an iron rod :\.... Sometimes we would collect small, sour apples and eat them with salt)). Heh... We went to the zoo (which was across the street from our house) very often (in winter and summer), climbing over the fence... When we got older, we even fished in their lake a couple of times))). There were a lot of fish =). And we walked along the dams, looking for lizards and catching frogs... We often went to the lake (which looked like a river because of its elongated shape and length), and we made dams for the streams under the sand bridge, and when a lot of water collected, we would float bottle caps... And once, with a friend, we took his big ship (a toy), attached a battery-powered motor to it, put toy soldiers on the deck, and launched it along the shore of the lake... But later, while launching it along the shore with the motor turned off, the ship suddenly turned sharply and headed into the open "sea," and we couldn't reach it anymore... So we started throwing stones in front of it, hoping that the waves would bring it back to us, but one of our friends hit it directly, and the ship sank along with the passengers, because they were attached with plasticine so they wouldn't fall off during the movement :\.... Although, one of them seemed to have survived... either he swam back, or we took him out ourselves))). We were most sorry for the ship =((. It had only gone on one trip... And there were so many games... and stickers (wrappers, tokens, cigarette packs, etc.), before that (when we were even younger), we played children's games (like "cat, cat, what kind of sour cream?"), then we played tag, war games, cops and robbers, tanks (and another game with a knife), and we "traveled" a lot )))... We also played a game... I don't remember the name, but it was dangerous. IMHO), everyone stood in a circle, held hands, and started running (spinning), and you had to hold on, and most importantly, run with everyone!!... When we played that game, I was the smallest, and the others were 3-6 years older... Once, in such a circle, I couldn't hold onto someone's hand, or my hand wasn't held, and I was left holding onto one hand, which was pulling me forward, but it didn't pull me for long, because then I flew out of the circle... I don't know how many times I tumbled in the air, but I flew far))) and fell on my stomach, next to a bench... but nothing, I survived. I didn't even cry, I think_)))) And there were so many games with a ball... soccer, of course (which was dangerous at that age, because some were much older than me)... Once, when I was standing in goal (they made me do it, the jerks)... one guy kicked the ball so hard.=(... and right in my stomach... I immediately grabbed my stomach, and hunched over... At that time, the ball flew back onto the field, and there was another kick, which hit me in the face... Then I turned away from the field and stood with my back to it... Strangely enough, even in that case, the ball flew back onto the field, and... what do you think happened?... Yes! That's right... the third kick (not as strong as the first two)... in general, the ball hit me in a sensitive spot :\.... And then there was a goal, and I didn't continue playing... either I went home (maybe to go for a walk somewhere) or I became a defender... I don't remember... We also played "Goat," tag with a small ball (which you had to throw at a person... if you hit them, they were "it")... There was another game that I liked... we called it "you... something" or something like that))). The idea was that people stood... either in a wide circle or just in a chaotic order... and kicked the ball to each other, but you had to kick it in some unusual way... in general, you had to show off)). But this didn't always work, or rather, it rarely worked, so this game was funny))). We also played with coins... we threw them at a square made of stones on the asphalt (when it was hot), with lines and a circle in the center, and there were coins... everyone stepped back and threw a coin from a certain spot towards the center (which was also a "striker"). Whoever got closest went first... and they went by hitting the coins in the center with their coin (usually a 5-ruble coin), like in checkers. But here, there were only small coins.... and of course, you had to knock them out so that they landed heads up (or tails up... I don't remember).... We also played roulette... which I asked my parents to buy for me.... At first, we played at home, with neighbors, etc., and with the tokens that came with it.... Then we started playing for pennies... we put them in a bank, then we made bets and spun it))). In this way, we collected 10 rubles in small coins)). They are still in the bank.... We also ran around with water pistols, shooting at various things.... And we ran around the garages, sometimes even playing tag in them... but I didn't like that :[. And this is in addition to game consoles and computer clubs... although the latter appeared when we were already doing all of the above))). Ugh, I'm tired... Okay, I'll write more later if I remember =)). P.S. What a post... probably the longest of mine))))
