Question Try to fill in the missing words: Some of my favorite childhood memories involve playing with my brother, David, who’s BLANK 1 of 23 and a half years younger than me. We always got along really well and we had so much fun together. When we were growing up in the BLANK 2 of 23 90s, video games were starting to get really big, but my parents wouldn’t let us have them. We were each BLANK 3 of 23 30 minutes of computer time, and my mother would enforce that pretty strictly. But we didn’t feel too deprived – what we did instead was make up our own games, and we would get really BLANK 4 of 23. We used to act out some of our favorite TV shows; for example, I would construct these ” BLANK 5 of 23 impossible” quests for David, where he had to follow clues around the house and complete a list of BLANK 6 of 23 by a certain time, otherwise there would be some dire consequence, like a bomb would go off – an BLANK 7 of 23 bomb, of course. We also loved this program called “American Gladiators” which involved BLANK 8 of 23 competitions and obstacle courses, and we would try to set up and recreate those challenges in the family room. David went through a phase when he was a really bad BLANK 9 of 23. He used to get all cranky if he lost a game or a competition to me, and wouldn’t want to play anymore. So I came up with this BLANK 10 of 23 where I’d take a piece of paper and make a scoreboard with the names of ten or twelve countries, and I’d say that it was the Olympics. Each time we played a game or took a BLANK 11 of 23 in some contest, we would pull a slip of paper out of a BLANK 12 of 23 with the name of one of the countries, and that would be the country we would represent – so whoever won the game, any BLANK 13 of 23 we won would be given to that country. So it took the focus off the BLANK 14 of 23 competition between my brother and me, and made it a competition among the countries instead. And it BLANK 15 of 23 – David was happy to compete in the Olympics, and he was no longer upset when he lost. One of our favorite games was playing balloon volleyball in the family room. At the time, the room had this big open BLANK 16 of 23 in the middle, so it was perfect and we’d play for hours on end. Later on, my parents actually remodeled the family room and we were so BLANK 17 of 23 that the new arrangement of the furniture was going to do away with our volleyball court, that we wrote them a petition asking them not to BLANK 18 of 23 the room! I remember one time we were playing and David BLANK 19 of 23 the balloon towards me pretty hard, and it went BLANK 20 of 23 my head. I jumped up and my fingers just barely tipped the balloon, but I deflected it BLANK 21 of 23 to make it hit a lamp and break it. Our mom heard the noise and came in to see what happened, and my brother and I both pointed a BLANK 22 of 23 blaming each other for it. To this day we still argue playfully about whose fault it was that the lamp got broken. But we really enjoyed each other’s BLANK 23 of 23 and we had a blast together as kids.
