Sure, my parents said the same thing. But they never stopped us from playing unless someone actually did break a leg. Actually, no… even that’s not quite right. The only time one of my friends ever broke a leg while playing was during a soccer game. He went to the hospital, but the game continued.
What I remember are the many times I was told, “Be careful or you’ll poke your eye out.” How about this one: “Why don’t you use your head for more than a hat rack?” O brother…
I’ve come to the conclusion that the only way I got out of my childhood alive was that I was Mother Nature’s “comic relief”. She look over and say “I can’t let him die, I want to see what he comes up with next.” I really can’t remember many days that didn’t include a cast, bandage, sling, crutches, band-aid, the E.R., or my Mom’s favorite cure for stupid…Macuracrome (spl). She might as have been pouring gas on that “asphalt rash”.
Boy you can hear the helicopter blades spinning. Ever since lawsuits for every little scrap became standard, you can’t do anything. Our town park had monkey bars, tall slides, teeter-totters, and big swings in the 60’s. The only thing remaining are the swings, thank you lawyers of America, you saved us from death by fun and replaced it with death by obesity.
Grandparents ate tar if they smelled a new roof being tarred and how about all the driving without seat belts.And, not having to fight opening stuff which is like sealed forever…wife has broken nails trying to open something.

I’m not so sure that parent is going over to say that. I think she wants to join them!

Yeah—better safe than sorry, I guess. (Though the pool-goers might not like the gesture so much.)
Good Evening, Crew.
