Water
Wars.
When they happened in my neighborhood, every kid on the block
turned out for them. Super Soaker's only came in 3 sizes back then and
not many kids carried them. We had the cheap clear (or colored) squirt
guns to practice our wetworks with.
Of
course you have one kid manning the hose canon, nailing any kids who
wandered too close into the yard or was within range. Water balloons
were a big resource as well during this time and by the late afternoon,
everyone was soaked.
The longer you kept dry the more paranoid you became until you were finally drenched by someone (or someones) and then you went all kamikaze after that.
Usually the last person to get wet was the hose operator but once you didn't care about being dry, that guy was doomed. You had a water balloon in your hand and no amount of oncoming H2O was going to stop you from smashing that balloon square in the face.
Ugh....good times, good times.
Have a good weekend Folks!
