If I had the choice

If I had the choice to spend so much wasted time with my phone fighting L*****ts on OPP defending America the only way left to me, or being able to kneel in the dirt again, draw a large circle in the dirt with my finger, open my bag & take out my favorite shooter and play marbles with my friends...yes, the good old days were actually really good. Shame kids today don't have the simple pleasures.
Jeanette says under no circumstances will she kneel in the dirt with me even after our 60 years together. She never played marbles as a kid.

I have a glass vase with marbles that are at least 50 years old and, supposedly, worth quite a bit.

It's amazing what some things are worth

I've heard that. Especially some of the old agates.

Those came after my youth but our two kids had them. 🥰 Holy Moly, I just checked and they first came out in 1916 (the year my dad was born) but I don't remember anyone having them. We were a bit more sophisticated, we played more in the dirt & stomped thru mud puddles. 😁

Because bouncing balls and grabbing small things with your hand just doesn't interest us after our teens

The topic of old toys came up with my niece. I was astonished at the passé toys she played with. In such instances, it is usually because they are left over from another generation.

I am not very good at marbles either. Especialy shooting marbles..I do better at Chinese checkers that and old versions of Aggravation. (Both with marbles).
