Summer Fun: Body Tricks

Sis and I had a good time waiting for the doctor this week (awful post-nasal drip + sensitive gag reflex = vomiting and no sleep for almost two weeks; new prescriptions are helping the presumed allergies), playing games I remember from childhood.  I don't know what  the category would be--ways you can trick your body into feeling something that isn't happening?   Yeah, that's gonna draw a lot of odd visitors.  For instance, pretending to crack an egg over someone's head and smoothing your hands over their head so that they really feel like the slime is on them.  Getting the sound of the crack just right is key!  Another:  karate chopping them on the upper back for a long time and then "stabbing" them with your fist and removing it slowly feels like, well, I'm guessing, being stabbed and feeling the blade come out (yeah, I guess that is pretty sick.)  Finally, if you lie down on your stomach and someone holds your arms off the floor and over your head for awhile and then slowly lets them down, you loose all sense of depth perception and feel like your arms are going into a hole--just try predicting when your arms should reach the floor; it's always inches off!

Next up:  "light as a feather, stiff as a board!"
