it’s played by climbing in trees, or on other relatively tall objects, until you reach a height that your Mother thinks is “too high” and then going on higher (with help and encouragement from Uncle). as an alternative, you can choose another activity that has an equal “danger” potential. for toddler aged nieces and nephews it was climbing up to stand on Uncle’s shoulders without holding on to anything else (though i always had a firm grip on their legs the whole time). strangely, my brother liked this game until his little girl was born. at that point, he didn’t seem to want to play it any more - though he never stopped me from playing. (and HE was the one who had his picture taken on the roof of the house with both pre-school aged nephews in his arms.)
