#43. Recall your favorite childhood game.

I don't have a specific game like hide and seek that was my favorite.  My favorite "game" as playing pretend with my brother and my friends.  I have very fond memories of Nick and me playing in our weird van shaped pop-up tent.  It was a blue and red van shaped tent that attached itself to my twin sized bed.  I remember we would pretend that the van was our home, kind of like the Boxcar Children books.  We used to put on a lot of plays (which explains why he's an actor now).  Unfortunately, I don't remember what any of our plays were about.  I do know that every time we put one on, I had to wear my bellydancing outfit that Aunt Cassie made for me.  Mom also told me about the time we had a wedding for my Poppels and Nick asked her, "smoking or non-smoking," instead of, "bride or groom."

And of course, I remember when Ashlee, Nathan and I used to play in their basement with Barbie dolls and the various other toys they had.  I made a Drew Barrymore Barbie by cutting off all of her hair and having her flash everybody (this was around the time she flashed David Letterman on national television).  We also had a Howdy Doody looking doll that we named Green Pickle Chimichanga-changa.  And the MC Hammer doll became MC Hammer Hammer, with an emphasis on the last Hammer.  We were and still are strange people!
