When I was a little girl in the back of my house there was a wall about 5 ft. tall that had been build around our property line to separate the homes. I had devised a way to climb up and sit on it, but the only way down was to jump – something that took courage. I’d invite other little girls and sometimes boys to my house to play. One of the ways I decided if I wanted to play with them again was whether or not they’d climb the wall and then be brave enough to jump off.
