We didn't have the rule that you're out if the ball hits your body. I'm trying to visualize how the ball could hit one's body and I can't figure it out. We always had our hands out to hit the ball. Sometimes it got past us, but we never got hit. Maybe you're playing some newfangled version of tetherball that an old fogy like me doesn't understand.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4887335526723967972.post-71757432933755055572019-01-30T19:49:54.039-08:002019-01-30T19:49:54.039-08:00I would suck at tetherball and height would not be...I would suck at tetherball and height would not be the reason.
