# Spotted in a local store:


Not only do the Chinese have no idea how English works, apparently they have no idea how jump ropes work either.

# Or they have all too good an idea what kind of games young girls can get up to.
Although it is usually the young boys that are entangled by them in that manner. Usually.

# Ok I get why this is funny,
but there really is a jumping game that's played with an elastic rope:

In spanish, but you get the idea.

# Yes.
We have the same game in Holland, called "elastieken" (lit: elasticing).
But it's really not supposed to tangle up your legs that badly...

# I remember my sister
& her mates used to play this when they were about 10. They called it elastics.

# Yes! Yes! I too used to play this as a wee kiddie
In Australia, we called it 'elastics' too!

Spent many a lunchbreak doing all the odd, complex moves required. This or yo-yo, handball, marbles, practicing handstands and backbends etc like all the trendy gymnast girls.

No Wii or playstation or PC to sully our young minds. Ah, those were the days. Now get off my lawn.

The ignorance is your own.
