Backyard of 29 Chimera Court, Sunday Afternoon

There were boxes waiting for those who received detention from Deadpool today. Two of 'em.

Okay, so maybe having kids do the work for him wasn't exactly ethical, but it totally worked just fine of you asked Deadpool. Plus, he got him out of figuring out directions on swings and a slide that may or may not actually be in English.

Score!

Git to work! mouthy_merc September 20 2009, 15:40:03 UTC

For the booooys.

Riiiight. Okay. Bobby was here, staring at the directions and wondering if maybe he was holding them upside down?

Nope.

Okay, now he was just contemplating throwing the directions away and guessing how the whole thing went together.

"D'you think - did they forget t'write all th' words?" George asked, trying to read over Bobby's shoulder.

"With appertain rotor of screw setting on the understanding that screw no wield. May wield two-faced, pressboard securing, wield pre to begin with wiping of bilge dasto... what?" Bobby read out loud.

Re: Git to work! noearsyet September 20 2009, 21:01:49 UTC

"...possibly we're supposed to - I don' even know," he said, making a face. "'M thinkin' if we took that literally, twouldn't be appropriate for a two year old."

Kyle made his way down after closing up the library early. "Hey," he greeted. "What's a bilge dasto?"

Re: Git to work! noearsyet September 20 2009, 23:26:45 UTC

"Somethin' not suitable fer th'gixies," George said.

Re: Git to work! longislandiceme September 20 2009, 23:45:08 UTC

"Especially when they're two," Bobby agreed.

Re: Git to work! weetinyreese September 20 2009, 23:53:32 UTC

"We could ignore the instructions and make it from a picture if there is one," Kyle suggested.

Re: Git to work! noearsyet September 21 2009, 00:51:43 UTC

George nodded. "Aye, I'd be goin' wit' that. We can always make it stronger if we need t'do later."

Re: Git to work! longislandiceme September 21 2009, 01:09:32 UTC

"Makes sense to me," Bobby agreed. "As long as we don't discard the bump on the inside, I guess. They seem pretty adamant about that."

Re: Git to work! weetinyreese September 21 2009, 01:32:36 UTC

"Aren't instructions supposed to make sense?" Kyle asked as he started laying out all of the pieces in an order that seemed to work.

Re: Git to work! noearsyet September 21 2009, 01:39:05 UTC

"P'raps they do if ye speak whatever language they're in," George suggested, poking at the funny colored plastic pieces. "What's a kid needin' all this for anyway?"

Re: Git to work! longislandiceme September 21 2009, 01:48:35 UTC

"It's a playset. For playing. So kids don't grow up with TV as their only source of entertainment." Because that was totally a danger considering who was raising her, really.

Re: Git to work! weetinyreese September 21 2009, 01:56:01 UTC

"Playing," Kyle repeated, not getting it. He shook his head. "I'll never understand some of the things people used to do." He pointed out two sets of pieces, then pointed to the swingset picture. "I think those make the frame of that one. It looks the easiest. The two triangles with a bar across each, then the big bar across the whole thing, then you hang the stuff off top."

Re: Git to work! noearsyet September 21 2009, 02:02:24 UTC

"Sounds good t'me," George grabbed one of the top joints and set about attaching it to the poles. He shook his head. "Tisn't no call for this in th' Lower City either. No teevee either though so p'hraps that's it."
