The crazy things kids do for entertainment!<br /><br />Since I've never moved to a new climate, I can't answer your question. Of course, there was the time I stayed with friends in Florida and was warned not to walk around the property - alligators!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SusanSusan J.

They speed through the turn hoping to spin. Crazy!<br /><br />When I was in college in Minnesota, I found out about a foreign practice. It was called 'skitching'. Kids would hang on to the bumper of a car, and then ski as the car went forward. Yeah, definitely a college thing. Stupid.<br />So sorry for your fright! How would you know they were playing? Even if you knew about donuts, it might have still looked bad.<br />Well, you live in Paris? How continental :)<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-17916105395019440602014-01-28T21:56:12.890-06:002014-01-28T21:56:12.890-06:00Fun story Jeanette.

I would have preferred handling the edible kind though.

There is another one called 'fishtailing'. It's sort of a skid where the vehicle goes sideways for a short distance and then straightens up.<br /><br />quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-25420632852177038902014-01-28T10:49:35.321-06:002014-01-28T10:49:35.321-06:00Several years ago we moved out of the city but hav...Several years ago we moved out of the city but haven't encountered anything particularly frightening unless you count bears wandering across our deck. :)Carol Garvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02182655399708415140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-12549430824191742392014-01-28T09:24:54.612-06:002014-01-28T09:24:54.612-06:00*Smile* They do them here, too, only we don't ...*Smile* They do them here, too, only we don't have snow, so they do them in parking lots or in plowed fields.Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930262815304757150noreply@blogger.com
