How big is a marble?

Abot this big!

You are not telling us you have NEVER played marbles?

Not allowed any more. Just the size for choking on when placed in the
mouth and when on the ground a serious slip hazard.

Our children once complained that they'd lost a marble in the garden.

OIn day I was digging and found a marble.

"I've found it!" I called. They were pleased.

That was thirty odd years ago.

Now, very frequently when I trowel (not dig) the garden I find a marble. I
always call, "I've found it!" Spouse always knows what I mean.

The children are long gone. The marbles are forming a l-o-n-g line along a
windowsill.

Where DO they all come from? And why don't grandchildren want them?

What a nice little story Mary, my six year old grandson has just
discovered the joys of marbles, his hands are not quite
big enough to master the action required but I am sure he will learn
soon enough :-)

I'm delighted to hear it.

Does he want some more?
