Your mom was so smart.....I was the younger of just two....and I took the bait every time it was offered and the battles would rage....finally someone smarter than I , like your mom, told me to just walk away...it takes two to have a fight.... After that, whenever we were together and she would start with something I would just look at my watch and say, “oh, I gotta go now.” Only took me 60 + years to finally get it!!! And it worked!!! After a while she ran out of fresh bait....no taker!! LOL...

Pammi

Yes, Impie, I do recall your saying about your feisty sister. The old saying is quite true "You can choose your friends but you can't choose your family". ☺☺☺

Impie

Yeah Pammi....I often overheard Mum say that Impie was easy going unlike her sister who always wanted things her way, always wanting a battle. They were just verbally fights but it drove my parents crazy the fights my sister and I had! Nine out of ten she'd started it and then often mum would say to me: "you're the youngest but please be the wisest and walk away from it!"
My sister was bothering my brothers too, but they weren't that feisty, but I did get a lot of support from my oldest brother.
When my sister married and moved out our relationship changed and got a little better,but not for long as she was always acting like the older sister and trying to tell me what to do and what not to do....ha....I believe I've told this earlier?... in 1991 she got into a big fight with my youngest brother and in 1992 she 'ordered' me to also break up with him!!! When I didn't she wrote in a letter that I was no longer her sister! Fine by me!!!!
I've seen her twice after that ...at my Mum's funeral service (1995) and (2000) at my aunt's funeral service!!! Like you said....families, eh? !!!♥♥

Pammi

Impie, you hit the nail on the head. I am the youngest of four and always felt I had to excel at everything just to be noticed. Inferiority complex? Who knows?.........but my mother, sounding very puzzled, often said to me "You are different from the others". I was never sure how that was meant. Like you, Impie, I adored my oldest brother who was ten years older than me. Aah, families, eh? ♥♥

Impie

Thank you for your lovely story, Bobbie. Your grandson Braydon sounds like a smart young boy. ♥
He knows how to get noticed alright!....being born as youngest of us kids myself....I think the youngest comes "fighting" in this world for 'an own' step of the family ladder to get by and up with the older siblings.

So you were the girl in between then Marilyn? LOL
I had a lot of girl friends in and around my neighbourhood and also at school, of which my sister, who was 5 years older, was very jealous but then again she and I never could get along. With my two brothers (2 and 4 years older) I could get along just fine, though my oldest brother was my favourite! Both my brothers have died and I haven't been in contact with my sister since 1992!!!! (to tell you the truth...I don't even know if she's still alive!)

I had an older brother and my sister was 4 years younger. I loved to be with the boys mainly because there were no girls to play with. We lived in a small town of 1100 population and we lived on the edge of town and had a pasture. It also helped that my day was a veterinarian, the only one in the whole county. Some of the counties had no veterinarians so Dad traveled far and wide to help the stockmen and farmers.

luckybie

Impie, I shared all this with Bill and he reminded me to tell you how games work with Braydon... they play Uno - you may know what that is but if not, it's a card game and they play with a double deck. It starts out with a lot of trash talkin' and then they "play." Neither of them them are "letting" the other win... oh no, I listen and wonder how " brutal" will it get! 8 out 10 hands, Braydon wins!
He is 8 yrs old... 。◕‿◕。

Impie

A.a.w.w. Nachtwacht.....ik hoop niet dat je er een Mikado-trauma aan hebt overgehouden? LOL

Hi Sue, I'm glad my post brought you also good memories of pick-up sticks ! ♥☺♥

That's quite a coincidence, Bobbie....around the time you and your daughter went searching for pick-up sticks I had almost forgotten I had them in my cupboard in the loft until I went searching for photos to take for this week's theme! ♥♥
I'm sorry your aunt wasn't more flexible to you as a young child. We didn't always let our kids win to make them get used to that it's okay to loose a game too, but we often did 'let' them win to give their ego a boost! ☺☺ .....that was until we started playing the "memory" game with them....LOL!!!

Hi nillie, calling the stick " Be careful or Be precise" does also make sense. It seems us Dutch like to 'use' the original and more exotic names....☺☺☺

You're welcome megabelle.....I wonder how many Jigidi-ers we have met whilst we were walking down Memory Lane! ♥☺♥

Oh Marilyn....you sounded more like you were a little Tom Boy back then☺ I did also jump rope and sometimes the mothers would sway the rope and us girls would jump (in and out) ...those were the days!!! I loved to play outside and when it would start to rain I made myself out of sight of our window so mum couldn't call me in!! My siblings were a wuss and always very happy to go back inside!!!
I've never been horse back riding, but I remember in my childhood it was only done by very wealthy people....and so was tennis ....times have really changed!!! ☺

Hi Mrgoodboy, long time no see....glad you like the puzzle!

Glad I got you walking down Memory Lane too Betty.....♥

Right Pammi, Fiddlesticks that's also a good name for them. We played this game a lot at home but I don't recall who was the best at it.... certainly not me I guess as I would've remembered that! ♥♥♥♥

Pammi

Here in Australia, we called this game Fiddlesticks and I loved it but my sister was the champion in the family. ♥♥♥♥

nanlein, I did the same thing! Pick-up-sticks!!! AND I agree I like Mikado better. Impie, thanks for the memory!!!

megabelle2000

oh, yes, canoekaw....jump rope was great fun...happiness was when a mother replaced a clothes line and we would get the old one that was still good enough for jump rope!!!!!

That was fun, and challenging .

canoekaw

I loved pick-up sticks also. I did not have many children in my neighborhood until after the 4th grade. I played jacks, pick-up sticks, jump rope, climbed and swung from the swing set and rode my poor tired sheltland pony Sally all over the place.

megabelle2000

I loved Pick Up Sticks as a child....and Jacks....both great fun....thanks for the memories...

nillie

Thanks Impie♥♥
Like others here I also loved this sticks game. Its name in hebrew was- דוק - (DOOK) there is no translation to English. Generally speaking it means "Be careful! or Be precise".

luckybie

Wow Impie! "Pick Up Sticks!' Just last Christmas, my daughter and I went in search of Pick Up Sticks for a stocking stuffer for the kids. When I was a kid (71 years ago!) this was one of the games that the older ones would play with me. I loved it alot, but my snooty aunt would make me mad at how she would always win the game with her snooty fingers picking up those sticks!!! ٩◔̯◔۶

soo

Thanks for the memory Impie, I also loved playing it and like nan we called it pick-up sticks ☺♥☺

Nachtwacht

Ik hou ontzettend veel van gezelschapsspelletjes, maar mikado vond ik niet ècht leuk.
Hoewel ik indertijd een zeer strakke hand had (ik kon uit de losse hand een nagenoeg perfecte cirkel tekenen), zag mijn tegenstander ALTIJD iets bewegen als ik aan de beurt was, maar bleek vervolgens volslagen blind voor het resultaat van de eigen poging.
Ik vond mikado niet zo leuk ... ;-(

Impie

Het moet je ook niet TE gemakkelijk gemaakt worden, Nachtwacht. ;-))))

Van mij ook hoor schutkleur, ik spendeer mijn tijd meer achter de computer dan dat er gezelschapsspellen op tafel komen tegenwoordig! Als je 'mikado' googled zie je dezelfde stokjes als deze worden getoond. Misschien is dit de 'luxe' uitvoering, wie zal het zeggen. We hebben hier waarschijnlijk al net zo lang niet meer mee gespeeld als de stokjes in jaren oud zijn! ☺♥

So did I, Greeleymary and I loved to play it with my sons when they were little.....it's a good way to test your patience!

LOL! nan....pick-up sticks sounds more logical, but I only it as Mikado. It seems mikado is named after the blue stick (with the highest point score) and it means Ceasar (keizer) in Japanese! ☺

Right Mallcat....I've always had these sticks....and we had lots of fun with it too! ☺

Mallcat

I remember the kind that was a solid color too, They were so much fun when I was young.

nanlein

i remember these...in the US we called it pick-up sticks. Mikado sounds so much more exotic! nan

Loved that game when I was a kid!

schutkleur

Dàt is lang geleden!!! 'k Speelde het graag, maar volgens wat ik me herinneren waren de stokjes veel kleurrijker, allerlei kleuren, en het hele stokje was gekleurd. Er waren dus blijkbaar verschillende versies van☺♥

Nachtwacht

Op het eerste gezicht lijken er maar één of twee 'makkies' bij te liggen. ;-))))
