A young Monkey Tree in Lewis Park. Anyone remember the game one plays while riding in the car, "Monkey Tree, I can pinch you but you can't pinch me back", game. I only learned this when I met my husband, and we were chatting about childhood games one plays while traveling.

I don't know the game - we didn't have these where I grew up, back east, but they've been a favourite since I first saw one when I moved out here.
Not familiar with that game - but then it could be because we don't have these trees in Ontario. I did buy a miniature one that I nurtured carefully, but it didn't last more than a year or so. I was devastated and haven't found one again.
I don't know the game, but you sure don't see many of these trees around do you?
love, love, love monkey trees and was always on the lookout for them on our trips to Vancouver Island
interesting tree...

I only learned this expression of Monkey tree can't pinch back when I moved to Vancouver and learned of it through my husband as he grew up in South Van. These trees grow well on the west Coast. I have seen some much larger specimens of these trees. I will be on the lookout if I see them again.
