Remember when?

I was sitting at a stop light the other day near a school and was watching kids play on the school equipment on the playground. Things have changed folks. What happened to the long metal slides? Now there are bright multi-colored plastic forts. What happened to the teeter totters? Wow, remember the pain on your bottom when some smart-a** jumped off and let you fall? What happened to the merry-go-round? You could get enough speed going someone could get whipped off.

I guess the fear has overrode the fun.
