TADPOLE GAME

ALRIGHT THIS IS REALLY SHORT, IT'S A RETARDED GAME WE USE TO PLAY WHEN I WAS A KID:

OUR NEIGHBOR DAVE HAD A NICE BIG HOUSE WITH A GIANT GOLDFISH POND IN THE BACKYARD. THERE WERE THESE GIANT FLAT ROCKS FLAGGING THE PERIMETER OF THE POND AND THE POND ITSELF WAS FULL OF TADPOLES IN THE SPRING.

ANYWAY THE GAME STARTED WITH EVERYONE KNEELING DOWN ON A ROCK OF THEIR CHOOSING AND THEN THE FIRST PERSON WOULD REACH INTO THE WATER AND GRAB A TADPOLE. IN DOING SO HE WOULD UPSET ALL THE OTHER TADPOLES AND THEY'D ALL SWIM DOWN A FEW INCHES TO A LOWER PART OF THE POND AND SETTLE DOWN AMONG THE ALGAE AGAIN. THEN THE NEXT PERSON WOULD HAVE TO LEAN IN FURTHER AND GRAB A TADPOLE, AND ONCE AGAIN THEN THE TADPOLES WOULD SWIM DOWN TO AN EVEN LOWER ECHELON OF THE POND.

SO EVERYONE WOULD KEEP DOING THIS UNTIL SOME KID REACHED IN TOO FAR AND THE ROCK HE WAS ON WOULD TIP OVER AND THE KID AND HIS ROCK WOULD GO ALMOST VERTICAL AND SLIDE DOWN THE SIDE OF THE POND INTO THE WATER

THEN DAVE WOULD COME RUNNING OUT OF HIS HOUSE IN HIS HOUSECOAT AND TELL US ALL TO GET THE FUCK OUT OF HIS YARD AND HOW HE WAS SICK OF DRAGGING OUT THE BIG ROCKS AND HOW WE WERE RIPPING UP THE LINING OF HIS GODDAMNED POND
