there is a very unique noise that happens inside that ball that seems to reverberate in the cranial chamber lol. a PONG like noise a low base to a high treble. reminiscent to a wobbly saw in awkward pitch lol
The smell! And the feeling on your foot when you really nailed it in kickball! But that scent would really take me back-- tempted to run out to the toy store right now...
I was always the last one picked for a team and the last one standing. It was really tough when 5 were coming at me at once. The boys would slam them and I got welts when hit (hence my becoming very good at dodging them)
I got hit in the face so hard I seriously think I lost consciousness, stumbling around, but stayed on my feet- when I came to I was the only one left on my team! Yeah, we lost that one. Disappointed collective groan from the sidelines.
I grew up loving it, which is weird, but true. To be fair, though, the face is supposed to be off limits. I only have been smacked in the face while watching from the sidelines ☺️
Kickball. I remember looking up, seeing the ball, hollering “I got it,” and ‘twonk’ it slammed right into my face. And that, friend, is why I always got chosen last. 😑
