What ever happened to this old fall party past time? I can remember, as a wee child, my mom filling a wash tub with water and emptying a basket of apples into it, fresh from the tree. Without using our hands, my brothers and I knelt in front of the tub and caught apples with our teeth. It was much more fun than just grabbing an apple and eating it.
I think your mother just found a creative way for you to wash your face! Do you ever bathe your grandkiddies and they hate having their faces washed! Or maybe it was just a fun time. Sounds like a sweet memory to you! Funny what we remember about our mothers!
ReplyDeleteI think bobbing for apples went the way of pin the tail on the donkey and Howdy Doody ...
