A couple of weeks ago when we had some nice weather for a few days we spent several afternoons at the park.  One particular day it was probably in the low 60’s- very, very nice for where we live on a November afternoon.  So, I had Peanut at the park playing on the playground.  Along came a little boy in his underwear.  He had his mother’s sweatshirt on but it was so big on him that he kept tripping over the bottom of it.  Then I noticed his hair was wet.  The little boy kept trying to take the sweatshrit off, you know- so he wouldn’t keep falling on his face.  And his mother said, “You have to leave that on.  Your clothes are all wet from swimming in the lake.”

Swimming in the lake?  It was a nice day- but the low 60’s seems a little cool to be swimming in the lake.  So after he tripped while trying to climb UP the slide (that annoys me to no end- you are supposed to go DOWN a slide) about 3 or 103 times because his feet kept getting stuck in the sweatshirt his mom decided it was time to leave.

People should have to take a test before they have children.
