This was about 30 years ago or so but I still remember it well. I was in junior high and there was one black kid in our neighborhood who hung out with all of us. One day we decided to play a game we did often. Knock on a girls door and run. The black guy participated with us and after asked us what the name of the game was. It got weird. I just said we call it knock and run (we didn’t). And he pressed the issue but I wasn’t going to say what it was really called. It was def a weird/tense time. We continued to play “knock and run” with him too.

My kids talk about the same game to this day and they call it ding dong ditch. So I feel like that is a parenting win. I’m def not proud of what we called it back in the day but it’s all we ever knew it as.

I was a girls house awhile back and her daughter was telling us about them playing ‘ding dong ditch’ a few nights before so I guess the game has universally changed names. Probably a good thing. Her mother and I just looked at each other and laughed but didn’t say why.

I wonder if kids still play ‘smear the queer’ and if so, what do they call it?

This isn’t a one time thing but kind of just my life, usually (always) when a girl tells me hi (almost never) I just say “what” or “thanks.”
