Drawing in the …. Dirt!
I was chatting with Steve Ross, a media personality in Philadelphia, who co-hosts a radio show with Jim Murray, called Remember When, and we got into a nostalgia discussion, not surprisingly. When I talked about KIDFUN he remembered something he used to do. Now, you might think I’m talking about sand here, but Steve recalled taking a stick and drawing in the … dirt. (That’s a new one for me!) But, I imagine, if you’re at a park with the kids, or your backyard, for that matter, and there’s an area with no grass, finding a twig or stick of some kind to draw pictures would be fun. You could even write your name or initials or lots of dots by poking around in the dirt.
Steve and Jim’s show is on The Big Talker, 1210 AM every Saturday night from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. If you live in areas beyond Philadelphia, that’s no problem. It’s a 50,000 watt radio station and can be heard on 38 states and Canada, too. Check them out on CBSPhilly.com. Actually, KIDFUN is there, too!
Can you “remember when” and think of activities you played when you were young? Can you share any with us for KIDFUN? Just write a comment here and I’ll tell everyone and give you credit. Thanks, Steve!
