Children on either side of the US-Mexico border played together despite a fence dividing them — thanks to three pink seesaws erected by a pair of California professors.

The teeter-totters on the outskirts of El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juárez in Mexico are the handiwork of Ronald Rael, an architecture professor at the University of California, Berkley, and Virginia San Fratello, an associate design professor at San José State University, The Guardian reported.

“One of the most incredible experiences of my and @vasfsf’s career bringing to life the conceptual drawings of the Teetertotter Wall from 2009 in an event filled with joy, excitement, and togetherness at the borderwall,” Rael wrote in an Instagram post that has garnered more than 52,000 likes.

It's an old story:

One country craving the territory of an adjacent 2nd country using its nationals in that 2nd country to stir up trouble on their mutual border in order to erase that border.

I would not be surprised if German kids also played games with ethnic Germans from the Sudetenland along their pre-1938 border?

The Czechs made damn sure after the war that was not going to happen again.

If a child gets hurt on the American side who pays the bill? What if it’s on the Mexican side? Something tells me that kids on the Mexican side will be suing a lot more than the ones on the American side. Watch the ambulance chasers start lining up at the border.
