  1. How I Play Tig

    Share Share Post
    I would put all the girls that were playing with me in a line and count to a certain number and who ever the number fell on had to run after me until they caught me and then I would run after them until I caught some other one. We would keep at it until we got tired running.

    One day I made a top from a spool I got an empty spool and I pared off one end with a sharp knife I kept pointing it until I had it like a pencil point. Then i made a whip and began to flog it.
