Like playing on those inflatable slides they have for the kids now. It not just bounce houses anymore, some companies have these humongous slides, and to get up to the very top of the slide you have to climb a ninety degree angle up the back of the slide, standing on a cushion of some sort that sinks into the floor, in the meantime you have to grab onto these foam "things" to pull yourself up on and use them for steps too. (Really?) I think I tried to climb this wall last weekend for a good forty minutes, because dang it, I was going to get up this slide. My husband kept telling me to give it up after I fell into the cushion that went to the cement floor underneath, but my stubbornness got the best of me. The sad part I couldn't even figure out why I wanted to get to the top. It wasn't until my 6 year old son came over to me and said "Mom let me show you how to get to the top of the slide." I finally sighed, and said OK. I followed Luke to the bottom of the slide where he proceeded to take off his socks and climb to the top of the slide by using the slide itself. It is really perplexing at times like those to think that adults are smarter then children.
When will I learn.
