Have you hugged a tree today?

I guess I've been hugging trees in the wrong forest.

She was in court on a traffic violation.

When I was a little kid... five or so, I was playing one day and swatted
a wasp. It stung me, and so did 1/2 dozen of his friends. I killed them
all, ate two of them, then showed up on the front door all swollen. :-)

Did your mom sue Mother Nature?

Max

That's the ticket... let the Catholics have at them. :-)

Just ban the kids, then you don't need the stupid rules.

Ban schools. Think of all the tax revenue we'd save.

Max

I really, really like your logic. :-)

The kids can't even play tag!

Sheesh .... What's next, banning bicycles?


I'm hoping the ACLU will sue the school for banning what should be the
students' right to play.

You had a playground? And Recess? Wow. You were one of the priviliged
kids, weren't you?

All we had was a hole in the ground, and they wouldn't even let us use
that. All we could do was stare longingly at the hole, hoping against
hope that we could somehow someday get into that soft cool dark depression
to blot out the monotony that was childhood. But we were grateful for at
least having that small amount of hope.

I'll bet you walked two miles to school each day through driving snow, and
three miles back, eh?

School? Who said anything about a school? An actual school would have
been a luxury. It was just a hole. And we weren't even allowed to use
that.

Doesn't do any good anyway. Kids will find ways to get hurt. I got a
spiral fracture of the tibia in grade 3, in the sand pit. Course it
took two other kids swinging me by the feet and hands to see how far
they could toss me. ;-o Guess my mom should have sued and I'd be
rich(er) now. (gr)

Kewl! I went thru a 'fear 'o ants' period. Fell out of a eucalyptus tree,
fortunately onto the recently buried chinchillas...my mother woulda killed
me so I never told...

In whose lifetime is that going to happen?

My comment was completely facetious. You know how fond I am of the ACLU.

Killed you for murdering the chinchillas or for falling out of the tree?
I climbed way up in an old oak we had that was really sprawly when I was
4...my Dad had to get me out with a ladder...
