Short and sweet from me this week. Still recovering from my bout with the plague – or pneumonia or whatever. When thinking of games from childhood, these are the first that came to mind. 
Heads up, 7-up – The best days at school involved this one. 
Played Yahtzee as a family. Loved it.
Red Rover – the one playground game I can actually remember. Don’t think I was necessarily good – I’m not good at games and/or sports at all – but I remember it and remember having fun, so…there you go. 
Rummy – another family game. And I have fond memories of playing this when my grandparents would come visit. Always a good time.
This movie…omg, guys, THIS MOVIE. I’m not going to do this for every movie but this one… Picture if you will, a family of five living in a small 2-bedroom apartment as their home is fixed up after a house fire. It’s already crowded and not the best of situations. Now the kids – about ten, eight and four years old – get the chicken pox. Yes, the freaking chicken pox. This is the horrible, cramped, itchy scenario that led the parents to buy their very first VCR. And this little diddy, Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, was one of the tapes the kids got to watch. The youngest, in particular, loved this movie so freaking much. She could sing along to the opening song (which is not in English) and pretty much knew every line of dialogue as well.
