Being a child

[Meade's Ball]

When i went to school up to 14 years ago, i would walk for about 30 minutes. During that time, i'd race each car that was on the road. The results of this race handed me luck or good will for that day. The closing line in this battle was also what separated each house and their differing colours. The majority of houses had me take 6 steps. I couldn't increase or feign my speed and fairly win. But i counted and added and wished.
One time this all changed when i walked for two hours and found that 51 paces were in time with THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR FEEDING WILLIAM etc etc and i had this echo my skull for those same hours until i shook with disgruntled rage.

What things did you fill time with as a child that you wish could be others?

I used to play dodgems with arms folded. It was great until I got a tooth knocked out.
