How funny! My other favorite thing was to make pictures and patterns with glow in the dark silly putty. I stuck it to the walls in the hallway then closed all the doors to the bedrooms so it was dark. After I shined a flashlight on it I'd block off the entrance to the hallway and then charge admission to my fun house. All of my customers were imaginary, but they loved it.

My parents would manage their driving speed so that, more often than not, it worked.

We had a park literally right outside our backyard, I was so lucky. My best friend and I would swing and pretend that we were in an airplane, sometimes a space ship and would imagine up crazy places and things that we pretended to see below us. Places like Monsterland and Candyland, etc. I was always the Captain :) When I was a kid I loved the swings at the park. We had a park literally right outside our backyard, I was so lucky.

That was always so cool. Walking down stairs was VERY trippy. I may have to do this in the house that I own as a grown-up, just to experience my home in a new way. THANKS for the inspiration.

Huh. Remembering that makes me realize how, even then, I was an uber-introvert who still really wanted to communicate. (And, yes, the endless hours tracking the mysterious roly poly tribe!)

"Stepping" over door jams and going around lights. I thought it was so fun! I think that simple discovery of perspective when I was very young made me look at the world differently. I became very curious about the different ways to view things and I don't think I've ever felt boredom because of it.
