Back when I was a kid, a slip 'n slide was a big piece of black plastic from a roll you got out of my parents garage and put in the front yard with the water hose running. You had to move fast because that black plastic got pretty hot laying out in the sun, and you did your slipping 'n sliding praying that you wouldn't nail your self on a tree root or impale yourself on a tree branch you didn't notice when you put the plastic down. I dunno, childhood these days seems like so much less of an adventure. (Carrie, I know you're reading this! I hope you're giggling until you wet your pants!!!!!!)
