youth

“You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.”


On my calendar this week is a myriad of mature tasks along with my birthday.
I am thinking a slide might be a nice gift to keep youth alive.
(love the yellow pillow strategically placed for a soft landing)

When was the last time you went down a slide?
Did you feel young or slightly immature?

    It's been forever since I've gone down a slide...I would feel young....probably giggle the whole way down. Have a Happy Birthday this week!

    I would probably laugh at first, and then realize what I was doing and wonder how I will land. A child at heart, and then the mind of an adult.

    You will not believe it, but I thought of a slide down to our basement yesterday as we again reshuffled our stuff after yet another flood!
    Hope you are good!

    I have often thought a slide would be better than a fire escape, and far more fun!

    Well first of all I hope you have a happy birthday. Secondly, I am totally immature. No one can accuse me of not being in touch with my inner child, and I proud of it! :-)

    Oh good!! My friend has a fire pole from her second floor into her play room. My eighty year old friend, however recently hurt her back going down a slide with her grand daughter. She is truly fun. H.B.
    Best,

    What a fun room that is! Last time I went down on a slide must have been a decade ago, at the elementary school I attended as a wee lass. With my bday just past, I might have to revisit that, maybe take a few spins on the merry go round too

    Happy birthday!
