Why do I feel as though one or one thousand of these are in your past (present), Mark?
Sincerely,
Mr. Nose
When I was a wee one, we used to make these out of cardboard boxes. Twisting tunnels that stretched through rooms.
I remember the game I called “Cleopatra” that I used to play with my cousin.
She would lie perfectly still on the coffee table while I entombed her with blankets and sofa cushions. Then I would pretend to be Howard Carter and unearth her.
My cousin had very little patience for this game.
Oh man! Thank you for this entry! I was just googling “blanket forts” for an in-class installation project I’m doing, when I came across your blog. So useful! Now I feel fully inspired to build my own fort!
