Have You Played "Apple Core, Baltimore"?

This is a mean game we played when I was young. The first requirement is that someone is eating an apple. That is how you get the apple core. If more than one person is eating apples, so much the better.

A person who is down to the apple core yells,
"APPLE CORE!"

Everyone tries to be the first to answer,
"BALTIMORE!"

The person with the apple core says,
"WHO'S YOUR FRIEND?"

If you are not the person to say "Baltimore," you better scramble.

The person who responded "Baltimore" names a friend in the group.

Then, the person with the apple core throws the apple core at the person named as a friend.

I thought about this as I considered how my hen would love the apples cores from my apples.

I don't think I ever ran away.

We did not have phones back in those days, so we chunked apple cores at people.

Have you ever played this game? If not, you can teach it to your children.
