The girl, due to being close to giving birth, didn't go outdoors to play...but her little brother did. He didn't tell at that time what the neighborhood kids played there in the inner city of Baltimore. But eventually he did tell. He told his big sister.
There were, and I'm certain still are, rats the size of cats in Baltimore city. You can see them in the middle of the day in the street.
The kids played a game where they threw things at them and scored points for hitting one.
He was pretty young when he joined in this game but as an adult he is sickened that this is what he did as a child to have something to do in the summer that he spent in Baltimore. His sister wanted to cry hearing this.
What was his mother doing while he played with rats?
