1 - 2 - 3 RUN!!!!

This game didn't have any sort of official name, but since its premise is much like the aforementioned "Chop 'er Down," I thought I'd tell about it. Basically my dad would pick up one of the huge brown pillows and then he'd say "You'd better RUN!" So Ashley and/or I would take off down the hallway running at full speed. My dad would throw a pillow low to the ground at top speed, and if we weren't able to dodge into one of the doors at the end of the hallway in time... Well, let's just say it wasn't pretty. Most of the hits would glance off us and just cause us to trip up as we launched ourselves through doors. Direct hits were infrequent, but occasionally caused some trouble as one of us ran headlong into the door at the end of the hallway.
This game taught us valuable life skills like dodging flying objects and crashing with finesse. If only they taught these principles in schools...
