This was a game I invented when the girls were just toddlers and we were at the park on teeter-totters.
I’d point at one of the girls high up in the air and exclaim, “There’s a Princess in a Tower! I’m going to save her!!”
I’d run fast and happily towards one of my daughters with my arms wide open and just when I got there, she dropped to the ground…and I’d whiff at the air and tumble to the ground.
But this meant my other daughter was high up in the air on the opposite side, so I’d repeat the same thing…run over…she would drop down…and I’d flail at the air again and crash-land into the sand.
Of course the girls thought this game was hysterical! Not to mention the looks I got from other parents at the park.
Aah…I really miss those care-free days when my twins were just toddlers! My daughters just reminded me of this game we used to play tonight around the supper table…I had forgotten all about it.
