Posted under Joy & Life & Me & My Thoughts
I went drive thru style just now for dinner. It was still drizzling lightly and there were a few cars in front of me. As I was waiting to order, I caught a few teenagers playing as it drizzled on. Two of them had in their hand the day to day grocery store red plastic bags. In the plastic bags, it was filled with a white powdery substance. I immediately recognized it, the smooth powder, it was flour.
They were playing with flour, tossing and throwing hands full of flour at each other. I smiled. I tried to recall those moments when I laughed my heart out, almost feeling a heart attack was coming on next. Now I think, at least some of the kids nowadays are doing some of the things we did before.
I read bout the future installed for some of the kids today in tihtahpah’s place and now I can say, there are still some future in them that we had previously. I guess not all of them are confined and there are still some that are enjoying the way we did and imagined it would be lost to them.

The good old days and it may seem cheap now to us, but back then it was still expensive la
But the fun, it was worth every cents of it
Hope she likes all the games you will teach her

In Mauritius we play with flour especially on someone’s bday

We usually break some eggs on the bday person’s head and then throw flour all over him/her!!!
Have a great w-end btw

Yes, those were the good old times, but then that can only be done if there’s enough facilities to wash them off
I doubt anyone would like it if it was done in a nice restaurant or in the middle of the mall
Have a lovely weekend yourself
