There is this little park by my house. And apparently today they changed all the equipment:
We had metal slides when I was a kid. Yes, it heated up to a thousand degrees in the sun and your ass and legs burned the whole way down.
We had a bouncy bridge. Yes, it hurt like hell when (not if but when) your fingers got caught in it.
We had a fire pole. Yes, we fell down it most of the time.
We had one of those slightly slanted wooden walls that you climbed up with a chain. Yes, we sometimes fell off it too.
We had one of those sliding bars. Yes, we also fell off that. Or slammed our legs into the wooden platform at the other side.
We had a tire swing. Yes, we sometimes tipped off it and fell yet again.
And you know what?
WE SURVIVED
Fucking kids are sheltered these days. At least this park still has sand and isn't made out of some fucked up foam like others I've seen...
