"I sit in a field with my friends Henry and manny. I've known them since third grade, we have a lot in common. We share favorite colors, we share a childhood, and we share a nursery rhyme. Every day we sense we can remember we would come outside and sit in a circle. Ones  of us stands up and starts singing, "ring around the Rosie's." Then one of use would join in, "pockets full of posies." The last person usually Henry would then join, "ashes ashes." He would sing and then all of us would hold hands and in unison say, "we all fall down."

Once the chat was done we would do it again until all of us started. Every time we would fall down laughing and once we finish we stand up and the person who started the first chant would count to five and then have to go find the other two. If they were found then they would be it but no one would tell anyone who was it. 

It would always be a fun harmless game we would play. Honestly i love playing any sort of game, i still do even though we are all in tenth grade we play it to scare the others when we find them. We always meet up every Friday at 5:00 so that we can play. No.matter.what.

My older brother, benny, would always yell at me for coming home late, he always tells me 'don't stay out so long playing stupid nursery rhymes and whatever the fuck you do' i always stick my tongue out like a five year old and head up to my room to get ready for bed. 

I think it's a way to get back into my childhood and a way to be happy. It's the start of a harmless game."
