Five Bucks If You Can Spot A Kid

Do you see a kid in the photo? Neither do I.

We set a new world record today. I took this picture at 1:15 this afternoon. At 1:10 there were 18 kids on the playground not including my daughter. We cleared that place out in just five minutes. This place isn't on school grounds or at a daycare, so it's not like they all went back into class or anything. There were only two parents there with more than one kid, so it's not like a big family left at once. Nope, those two parents had two kids apiece so that still leaves 14 kids who all mysteriously vanished in five minutes. That's one hell of a coincidence if you ask me.

Whatever!

I personally don't like going to a crowded playground and in the past I used to just keep walking for fear that my daughter would be trampled or something by the bigger kids. Now I know that all I have to do is just step inside and we'll have the place to ourselves in no time. Works for me.

  1. Ok Ordale, this is just crazy. I, in my eternal optimism, chose to believe that this is just some insane coincidence. Maybe the temperature dropped, and suddenly none of the kids were properly dressed . . . or something horrible happened right before ya'll got there, and they were leaving anyway . . . or they were all going to the same afternoon movie, and were just killing time at the park but had to leave to make the show . . .

  2. LOL. Anything is possible. I still have faith in people. Not everyone around here is like that. There was just an abundance of "temperature conscious moviegoers" today.
