    I was JUST talking about this with my friend, how unsafe playgrounds were when we were kids, and how there were never any adults around watching us! Hilarious. I love your blog, found you on Top Mommy Blogs. I’m at http://www.mytwintasticlife.com/ if you can stop by. Thanks for the chuckle!

    So funny! I myself recall falling backwards down the ‘hole of doom’ just as drawn, although I don’t remember the safety tire being there … (but we lived!)

    Also, where can I buy a t-shirt with just a picture of the ‘hoot-and-half buried tire’ kid with the word ‘sad’ on it?!!
    I give you GOOD price :)

    Coming soon. Planning a whole line of “pee where it shouldn’t be” line of clothing.

    I know right? I swear most of our playgrounds were made of cement and barbed wire. Will check out the blog. Thanks for the comment!
