December Meme - 4th

Describe a memory involving a game from childhood.

Okay, this one is gonna be a weird one because I actually have no memory of playing this game but I am reminded of it everytime I see my dad's brother, my uncle Winton. And yes, I'm in my mid 40's now and Uncle Winton will still reference it.

Apparently when I was very young, probably around 2 or 3, my uncle used to call out "Dead Ants" and all of the kids, (me, my brothers and all our cousins) would drop to the ground and play dead and see who could stay 'dead' the longest. And apparently I never won, cos I could never stay still very long. Uncle Winton says I always used to start giggling within a few seconds.

We weren't really that naughty but we sure were rowdy so I don't blame him for doing anything he could to get some peace and quiet.

Sounds like there was a fair few of you - must've been crazy!
