Watermelons

[Sasha and Abby]

All the kids in Wedgefield had horses when my father was growing up.
They would all get croaker sacks and start in the peach orchards and grab green ones and fill a sack. They they would all ride hell-bent-for-leather up and down the rows and blister each other with green peaches.

It does sound like a bit of fun compared to our bottle rocket wars...

We had BB gun wars. Bottle rocket wars. Kill the man with the ball. Throw big chunky dirt clods from a freshly subsoiled field...

Sheeeit……snowballs soaked in water and set out to freeze.

Yes it will. A friend down the street took one to the eye. The pine cone war was over after that.

I just got a cold chill.

I just got a cold chill.

Surprisingly, didn’t do any damage.

Green cotton bolls can put a hurting on someone. If you throw them right you can make them curve so the person can't get out of the way in time. Thunderchicken can back me up on that.

Green gum balls right off the tree. The ones one the ground never flew right. The sound of them hitting flesh from a modified rocket with inner tube bands was very satisfying. Dried out ones never flew straight. Many an across the neighborhood rival gang kid quit and went home with a booger barn full of snot and watery eyes. If Daniel had mine and a rock, Goliath wouldn’t have ever stepped on the battlefield.

Daniel or his dad?

Hurts almost as much as getting beat with a piece of pigweed
