[quote=Anonymous]I remember face-offs on the playground between rival friend groups with many very inappropriate words exchanged and some physical altercations to.

I remember we used to play "whip it" on the field during recess where a bunch of kids link hands and then the leader runs around with the goal of "whipping" the kids on the other end of the chain until they fall off. I also remember this particular game being banned.

I remember lots of talk of kids "dating" and planned "dates" during recess where people would have their "first kiss." Kids would stand in the middle of a group and kiss each other while everyone went "ooooooooh" and laughed at them.

I also remember an incident where a girl I was friends with (her name was Jessica) was invited to "date" a very popular boy in class by meeting near the slide during recess. She showed up with a group of us in tow, and the boy was there with a big group of the popular kids, including the most popular girl in class (whose name was also Jessica). The boy stood next to my friend and put his arm around her. And then he swept his foot behind her and under her so that she fell down, and the popular Jessica led a chant to taunt my friend Jessica about what a loser she was for thinking that she could "date" the popular boy.

So many random memories like this. I also assume I learned to read and write and do math because I wound up quite bookish in high school and went to law school and have a family serious job now. But my memories of elementary school are almost entirely about romantic soap operas and mild to moderate violence.[/quote]
