This Summer Has Been Real Nice, Clark

 

There are a few things socially questionable about the event depicted in this collage. First of all, it's a Slip-n-Slide on the FRONT lawn. The second thing proving my increaing lapse in judgement is the fact that my kids are on a Slip-n-Slide, on my front lawn, in their underwear. Their swimsuits were already packed for our trip to Bear Lake, so what's a mom to do? I have to say, there is something magnetic about a slip-n-slide to the male 3-8 year demographic. No sooner did the vinyl hit the grass when little boys from all over the neigborhood came running in their swimwear, unable to be detained. I also learned from this experience that this same group of people seem unable to form a line to wait for their turn. If little boys ruled the world there would be Slip-n-Slides on every strip of grass everywhere and people would just be making mad dashes toward whatever service they required. Smashing into each other and wrestling to settle the dispute.
