Do you remember being a good little soldier, positioning your little green army action figures and making explosion noises?

Only you grew up and it was real, not fun anymore, nor are you invincible, indestructible.

    I vivdly remember my friends playing with green men and making sounds killing each other.
    I sat high in the tree they played army under.  I watched them thought how weird it was they wanted to kill one another and they were green.
    The sounds they made sounded even more depressing.

    After I climbed down, we got on our bikes and rode around our block.

    I didn't play army games but thought the idea and sounds weren't nearly as fun as climbing the tree.

  • I was always hiking through the woods and exploring instead.  I didn't have friends, and I had no interest in military games.

    Awesome.  Me either!
    :) :)
    You have friends now.  I would love to got on a hike with you through the woods, or in an open meadow.  Looking up, down, and all around is much more exciting than killing one another. Listening and laughing and is a lot more fun and rewarding, too!
    I say friendship with nature and each other rules over army playing

    I remember doing it as a kid and as an adult. As an adult I used to place little green army men around  my pot plants in the bush to protect them from slugs . But I didn't make explosive sounds because I was in stealth mod  because the police were every were plus they had a helicopter. Cheers!
