The bark under the moneky bars is actually better than the rubber matting, which makes a great skin removal abrasive.

My dad used that one, too. And my all time favorite, “Shut up and answer me!” Huh?

The monkey bars were better for me than the slide. Still afraid of heights I learned to climb to the top, I learned to slide down the pole[we had circular monkey bars}, and I played tag on them. We had dirt on the bottom. I did not break anything, and i broke a lot of limbs but not on the monkey bars. bettygram’s last blog post..Quilly Three Word Challenge#18

A dragon on the moneky bars hanging upside down. It boggles the imagination.

We wore shorts under our dresses. Nobody told us we couldn’t do that.

Five weeks. June 20th to July 17th.

Melli — that was what MOST of us did on ours, too, but one season there was a rash of stupidity. As to tights — I think I was in 4th grade before I realized I didn’t HAVE to wear them!

Caryl — if any of my old friends have ever seen them, they’ve never commented. However, remember the Jones kids who used to live across the street from Gram? I didn’t know them, they were older than I, but one of them found my blog and enjoyed it for awhile.

Thom — Maybe you’re parents weren’t trying to kill you. The rest of us know better.

CL — a commenter — the only commenter — on my original posting of this said, “I used to have bandages through all my childhood and blamed myself for being careless. Thank you for opening my eyes and helping me face the truth. It’s time I called my mam to ask for explanations.”

Ah! My point, exactly! We survived. We thrived!
