I find the games that children play interesting. Children today have video games and computers, and I have heard about smart phones, which I know nothing about. Children and adults today are able to send messages and pictures almost anywhere in the world by holding a small telephone in their hand and pushing buttons.
Anyway, while thinking about those things this week, I remembered when I was a child back in the 1930s.  My cousins, Jo Dean (White) Redmon and Robbie Jewell (White) Tate along with my brother and sister, W.B. and Ruby Lee Cantrell, had an animal cemetery.
We buried almost everything. You name it and we probably buried one; a dead dog, a bird, frogs, and even bugs. We made a special service out of it. W.B. would be the preacher and the rest of us would be the mourners.
We cried as hard as we could while W.B. preached the funeral. We took turns walking to where the dead animal was and tried to see who could cry the loudest.
Another game was playing church. We would sing the songs that we had heard in church. W.B. did the preaching and the rest of us would take turns going to the mourner’s bench.
I know that children today have a lot of imagination, but we children did also.
