Other times we played and fought in the mud during rainy seasons,we made "katunja" and we "goyod tworo" for that subject ACM!We went "moto"as a group and played hide and seek as a team ... Oh my!We did play "katolo"and "sabina"too.In deed games were unisex!For real we "tugod usi" and relished doing so! Of class work jealousy? It was so real.Number one was reserved for either Enoch or me,there was no other way!Many times we ...
