This is Brok's fault, 'cause he reminded me...
When I was a kid we used to play this game called "The Floor Is Lava". Someone would yell "the floor is lava!" and immediately you'd have to jump onto furniture and get around the room or house without touching the floor. My mother liked to say it was to exercise my imagination, but looking back, it was just 'cause we were poor, so all I had WAS my imagination.
Me: "Hey Mum, I'm bored... can we get that new Nintendo system?"
Mum: "The floor is lava, kids!"
Us: "AAAAGH!" [jumps]
...
And when I was a kid - I used to play the B-52s really loudly whilst I jumped around. Don't ask why. But I'd just put the tape on automatic-switch-sides and listen to it over and over again until Mum made me go play outside.
I also used to make tents out of blankets and chairs. I miss that.
