Talk:Ringolevio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We played Ringolario for many hours on summer nights after the sun went down on a hot summer day. Frankly, I don't know how any parents got any rest during the summer. We would laugh and scream and carry on sometimes until 11pm. We dressed as commandos and sometimes would even paint our faces black and green. When we came in from playing our skin would be so itchy after rolling around in the grass all evening. There were many nights when the tub was filled with brown water after cleaning up. The game was sometimes dangerous because many kids would be running full speed across a dark yard and run into something or get clothes lined. The game was brought to our neighborhood by kids from New Jersey near New York City. Nprlisner 02:41, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
