Jamal and Ellen have twin nine-year-olds, Natasha and Karl. Every winter Jamal makes a big rink in their backyard so that the local kids can skate and play hockey. Natasha loves hockey every bit as much as Karl does, and plays with all the local children, who happen to be boys. What did Barrie Thorne call this kind of play?
