a short summer memory

blugiallobiancorosso

I was perhaps 11 years old — old enough to be allowed to go to the movies with friends unsupervised. After watching one of the Voyage of Sinbad movies (most likely), my friend Paige (most likely) and I were killing time in the parking lot, waiting for my mom to pick us up.

We had a super ball that we bounced back and forth to each other in the parking lot.

A car came by, just I launched the ball to Paige. The car slowed, just in time to let the ball fly into one of its open windows. Then it sped up, with our super ball inside, and disappeared out of the parking lot.

    And this weeks King Trivia newsletter question was “What company introduced the bouncy Super Ball in 1965?”

    See you tomorrow at The Road to the Tournament!
