Lis hasnt heard of them apparently they get digs up here, now we could be real horror of parents and show her what she has been missing all these years, do your children still get them or is it another thing that has been banned by the PC brigade |

Sharm on your birthday people grab your arms and legs then as you are lying flat they throw you up keeping hold and then down again and do it the number of times for your birthday hence the Bumps cos you bump down on the ground each time |
