CHILDREN’S GAMES—BOWS AND ARROWS. Some of the games I have been describing recently have an element of danger to them. A friend of mine told me that when he was about ten, he and his friends would use a bow to shoot an arrow into the air, and then put their arms over their heads and wait in excitement for it to come down.
This must have occurred to at least a few other people, as something along these lines was made fun of in Zach Braff’s Garden State.
