NoJoMo #10 – childhood memory getting into trouble

Can I make a list and just go down it recalling everything?  LOL Just kidding.  I was about 10 or 11 years old and my folks were going to be gone for less then an hour across the street for dinner.  Of course my parents trusted me to watch my young brother and sister. 

My parents had just purchased a brand new sofa and recliner to replace what we had.  Now both the old and new sofas and recliners were all in the living room.  Our old stuff was going to be picked up for donations. 

I got a wonderful idea that we could jump from sofa to sofa and recliner to recliner and have a blast without ever touching the ground.  the key to the game was that you were out if you did touch the ground.  Yes this game sure sounded fun.  It was that is until my parents decided to sneak through the back yard and spy on us.

they saw us flying threw the air jumping on the new and old furntiure.  I will never forget the look on their faces.  It was a mixture or horror and amusement.  We were grounded from watching Robotech for 3 days and I was lectured about being the responsible one and how I have to set and example to my siblings.
