whoooooo!
after a few years of it being in storage, my brother, *pauses for breath* convinced my dad to set our trampoline back up
so I went out and jumped with my brother for a bit
that thing brings back so many memories
like when my fam had just finished watching"My Favorite Martian" and then we all went out to jump and my dad gave me a major "rocket booster"
and I almost went over the side but got caught on top of the net.
And all those times a few of us would try and sleep out on the trampoline but went inside in the middle of the night because it was either to hot or to cold or we had all sunken to the middle.
Or when I would have a bunch of girls over for my birthday and we would play with the hose and water balloons all afternoon while jumping.
Everytime anyone was over I would try to convince them to risk their life by climbing our half rotted fence, getting onto the carport roof and jumping onto the trampoline.
After the carport roof got unexciting, I wanted to try our house roof but never got my dad to believe that "it's not as high as it looks"
The Davis's would come over and we would collect every blanket and pillow in the house, along with hot chocolate and a flashlight, and go sit out on it at night and get completely freaked out by the lunatics that lived in the apartments behind us, the fights between tenants usually involved knives and police.
anyway
well
my brother is big enough now to give me "rocket boosters"
it was exhilarating
