I wonder, do kids do that anymore? (the boxes, not the oil!)
Yeah, it was the oil slick that got us in trouble. Funny how poor your judgement is when you’re a kid. Looking back it seems like we hesitated before we did it — so we had an inkling — but it was only a very brief hesitation.
I have to imagine that cardboard boxes are still being put to good use by kids. They have too much fun potential even with video games around.
