Its depressing to see this What happened to police and thief, hide and seek, and co. ? Free of charge, and way more fun...not to mention healthier.
It took me a while to realize what you meant by police and thief, I was wondering what sort of games you were playing... then the penny dropped, oh, yes... you meant cops and robbers, guess that in Malaysia it's a little more formal!
Yeah, we have a bicycle version too....which I looked forward to every evening during secondary school. Two groups of cyclists, 1 group being cops, another robbers in a set perimeter of a neighborhood. I hardly see bicycles around anymore now.
Very true, when I was my son's age, he's 10, I was out on my BMX doing all sorts of dangerous things, such as building a ramp and jumping over a dozen friends, we all took in turns laying down to be jumped over... seems so crazy now that I am older... it would not have been pleasant if someone had landed on one of us.
These days, we are in the electronics generation, my son's generation will never know the wonders of dial up internet, no Facebook, Youtube or cassette tapes.
