So.. today we were finishing up Pre-inventory counting. found that the Rc cars were all sold out, the toy robots sold, as well as the dolls, but not a single Kids Science kit sold. i guess science isn't that hip. I'm really disappointed in the kids interest in Education. i mean i used to have a chemistry set when i was a kid, with chemicals that wouldn't meet "safety" standards of todays overprotected youth. with numbers for poison control centers, warnings, and DANGER signs. and i was like, yeah thats cool. and i had tons of fun.
the playgrounds they had when i was growing up were so fucking rad. there were a million ways you could get hurt, but the point was, that you can have fun, and learn to avoid injury, and if you did get hurt well. hopefully you won't be so reckless, or keep trying it until you stopped getting beat up so often..... like not climbing up the slide after you come down. POW!!! theres another concussion!! but did we call the ambulance? no.. after i regained my footing i went up and climbed upside down on the monkey bars that were 7 feet off the ground, which was something that consisted of sand, twigs, shards of beer bottles, Capri Sun Straws, Pudding Cups, and old gum. and now what is it? i don't know.. it's not natural... it's another "SAFE"
next time you take your adventurous kids to the park, let them climb a tree, instead of a poor excuse for a jungle gym they have now-a-days.
i miss my kick-ass playground they had next to my neighborhood. oh well..
