The Floor Is Made Of Lava!

16-05-2004, 06:21
Don't step on the floor! It's made of lava! Jump on the couch! Toss over the pillows so you can walk over to me on the counter!

Nearly everyone on the planet has played "The Floor is Made of Lava." Don't deny it. You and a friend would jump on furniture and whatnot and do everything to not step on the floor. Tossing pillows and coasters on the floor so you could get from table to table. Then one of you would jump on the table and two of the legs would snap and you would glue the legs back on before your parents got home.
Good times...Good times...

Everyone does that!? I thought I was creative...

Still, this is a good sign. It can mean one of two things:

A.) I'm not actually incredibly stupid.
B.) Wow, everyone else really is incredibly stupid.

White tiles had a tendancy to turn into lava in my childworld, leaving me no choice but to step on the black tiles.

How did we decide that a pillow was our best protection against lava???

At my house, we used everything, including but not limited to:
Blankets
Clothes
Couches
Puppies
Watermelons
Shards of glass (if you are evil enough to trick a dim-witted friend)
Expensive things
Bottles of Mr. Clean

The list goes on.

My little brother was often a lava sled. Not voluntarily, mind you....

As long as you can be assured of always being 'bigger,' my brother discovered 'working out' and when I came back to visit a few years ago found that the lava sled was under the other foot...

Don't worry about me. I'm 4 years older and about a foot taller.
Now that I think about it though, getting the tadpoles wasn't all that bad. We got bribed with pizza.

Ah, you see-I too am four years older. And I'm still technically bigger, but he went and made sure he was bigger where it counted. Something must have been gnawing at him...

and really, pizza makes it okay (though the perfect food form is burritos)

No, I'm hungry. You cannot stop me when I am hungry. Unless she wants her ransom in the form of vomit, tadpoles are officially Saturday's midnight snack.
