Lets Play Pretend...

Remember when we used to play pretend and put moms nylons on our heads? With multiple pairs we could manage long black hair that we braided and would travel down our backs past our bums. With just a couple of pairs of nylons each, along with a couple of head bands, we transformed into INDIAN PRINCESS SPIES!

Were we allowed to use moms nylons? No we weren't. We stretched them and put runs in them. So partially while we played this game we were spies. We crawled on the ground through "no-mans-land" which is also the kitchen where mom was washing dishes. Sometimes when we crawled, one of us would purposely step on the others "hair" and it would fall off. We would roar with laugher at the thought that our hair just fell off.

I remember Indian Princess Spies with you. The imagination of a child is quite beautiful. This memory makes me smile. I wonder how many pairs of mom's stockings we ruined.
