Exactly. Name me one boy who didn’t try to set up a ramp for his bike using a cinderblock and a plank of wood, only to nearly kill himself trying to get airborne on it.
It is amazing sometimes that any of us make it to adulthood. I was particularly stupid in that respect. Nowadays, they would have the Children Support Services in to talk to my parents because I was getting hurt so often.
I was stupid and clumsy, and that isn’t a good combination in a kid...but hey, I made it.
When the little Flashes were about 1 and 2 we went to a tot lot that had a very wide though not very high plastic slide with a big platform at the top.
Also people would bring toys to leave there, including some small plastic tricycles.
I saw some older boys, six or seven, who were probably too old for the tot lot, riding the trikes. I asked my self “How long will it be before they decide to ride the trikes down the slide?” About five minutes.
