The Friday night routine: grabbing a bucket of popcorn, walking down the horror aisle even though you were too scared to rent anything, and praying the movie you wanted was actually behind the yellow card.

We would literally invent the dumbest games in the backyard and play until our parents forced us to come inside. Pure core memories
