Whether playing or watching, everyone gets to laugh, argue together over the size of the squares, and poke fun at one another when they miss. And then we all try again. Whatever society thinks, either game can be played by both. So if you feel Hopscotch is too childish or sissy, it just means it's time to move on to something else, like the game of Marbles. In this game, you get to draw circles in the sand instead of squares on the asphalt, and get to use marbles instead of pebbles.
Marbles are neat and cool.
If you've lost your marbles or never had any, that's okay because Jesus can help you get them. But you have to have marbles in the first place to start the game. You'll find while sitting here in the sand with the rest of us, that some marbles are considered prettier and fancier than others, yet a plain marble is just as cool when it's the only one in the pile or when someone wants them for their collection. Pretty is relative, and weird is cool. One man's junk is another man's treasure, and so it is with marbles.
