04 ☆ Exceeding theoretical boundaries

Playgrounds are designed for use by children. Why do adults seem to derive enjoyment from it as well?

Nostalgia?

Or maybe it's the fact that running around and climbing on brightly colored plastic or wooden pirate ships never quite loses its appeal.

Even in a place where we forget?

And even when you get stuck due to improper usage?

live_ringer September 24 2010, 04:00:00 UTC

We may not remember exact instances, but it's hard to deny the feeling of nostalgia has a tendency to pop up when we least expect it.

I've not had the unique pleasure of getting stuck, and don't plan on it. But I could probably get hours of fun out of laughing at someone who did.

So you felt nostalgic seeing the playground too, Gene?

Adult in body does not equal adult in mind. A lot of big dogs always continue to think they're still lap-dogs/puppies.

But the playground equipment are designed for children bodies. I suppose if one suffers from dwarfism they can still fit.

grab_my_bells September 24 2010, 04:09:36 UTC

Yeah, maybe. Do we have any of those?

lingeringlegacy September 24 2010, 04:11:52 UTC

I don't think so.

There's things that are meant for adults that kids like! Like swords and crossbows. Or pets!

lingeringlegacy September 24 2010, 04:22:02 UTC

Swords and crossbows are weapons, they can be dangerous for children! But pets are nice, I think.

crowsloveapples September 24 2010, 04:34:08 UTC

Not if you train them how to use them right! Youth's teaching me how to protect myself!

Oh, so you are a child?

It is nice of him. [Children fighting... feels wrong. But in this place it is hard to deny the necessity.[ I do hope he also teaches you the safety precautions to take.

Because it's fun~!

When one doesn't get stuck in them, of course...

lingeringlegacy September 24 2010, 04:33:03 UTC

Why do you find it fun?

crimsonmischief September 24 2010, 05:29:57 UTC

Because there are so many things to play with~! And should I not find it fun?

lingeringlegacy September 24 2010, 05:58:59 UTC

I do not mean to tell you what you should find fun. I was just curious~

Because it is interesting! I enjoy it! And my students seem to as well!

lingeringlegacy September 24 2010, 04:51:47 UTC

What part is interesting to you?

spandexisyouth September 24 2010, 05:02:37 UTC

The swings! And the slides. And the climbing. I think that I like it all.

lingeringlegacy September 24 2010, 05:23:04 UTC

Is it the same as sliding and climbing while training normally?
