So Lindsay and i were on the couch awhile back when we started playing the push with your feet against one anothers feet and try to extend your legs completely. No real purpose or defined end to the game, but one we played with our siblings as kid nonetheless. My question is who taught us this game? Kids nation/worldwide play it with their siblings, but who taught it to us? Where did it come from? How is it so widely known?

Nonono. Footsie is played under a table. Footsie is kicking or rubbing the other person's foot.
"The foot game," as Ben calls it, is completely different. The two participants must be lying on their backs on a sofa (I suppose the floor could work, too) with their heads on opposite ends so that their feet meet in the middle. The feet are pressed against each other sole to sole, which means that someone's legs have to bend. The goal of the game is to make your own legs straight and the other person's bent over his head.

I played the foot game w/ my sisters when I was little! I have no clue where it came from though.

Oh boy do I remember that one. And we thought we'd made it up. It started out as battling for dominion of the center cushion and developed into a game... at least for us.

My beagles do it all the time, except its paw to paw, and results in one or both rolling over and off the couch depending on who pushes best.

Wow I remember that game. I agree with Goody I think it started as a battle over who could get the most room.

I've played this game before with one of my sibs, but I don't think we were taught it by anyone.
