I took 255 photos of the kids jumping rope. These aren’t nearly half the good ones.
I remember living in Germantown back in the 70s and dodging the kids on the sidewalks twirling double dutch. Haven’t seen that in ages.
Me neither! Kids don’t jump rope or play with finger cords in school anymore, so we had to watch some videos of them doing such things. These days, kids stay at home and watch videos of people doing things!
