Grandma thought for a few minutes and memories began drifting back of simple games of tag among the trees. hide and seek and kick the can There was also ring around the rosie and London bridge is falling down as well as may 1. simon 't says and red light green light. Girls skipped rope and played hopscotch, while. boys played catch. Baseball was popular as well. "You played baseball?" the kids eyes popped. Some of the games were familiar to the children, because they've changed little over the years: others sounded new and strange to them. Suddenly they changed the subject and wanted to know what Grandma and her friends talked about when they were little. Every -generation seems to have its private stock of "in" words and jokes. Grandma remembered the fun she and her friends had with a cer- tain kind of joke and she wanted to share it with her grandchildren. It took her awhile to recall one. but finally she said. "I've got a joke for you. Knock! Knock' Now you say... ,But she didn't have to explain. Two toothless grins asked in unison, "Who's there?" "Gimme." "Gimme who?" "Putcha arms around me and gimme a kiss." The grins faded. "That's not very funny. Grandma," confided Susan. • "I know one a lot funnier than that." piped up Bobby. "Knock knock." "Who's there?" asked Grandma. wondering how the tables could turn that quickly. • M R. AN D MRS.
