really, we all grew up fine and with great memories. I wonder who comes up with this stuff. My kids at school have no play equipment, because of saftey, they can't bring balls again saftey. So instead they decided to do a natural playscape, which is fine (we are county so its not a big deal) but guess what, they now have posion ivy and ticks in the play yardsee what happens when you mess with pure fun!
