While out driving today I saw a sign for a park up ahead.
The sign was the traditional park sign which displays two kids on a
teeter-totter having fun. Keeping these signs up today is misleading and cruel,
‘cause teeter-totters, also known as see-saws, are illegal. They’ve been removed
from most, if not all of American parks. Oh, I used to fall for these signs –
we all did. We’d get out hopes up, pull into the park only to see a weedy area
where the teeter-totter used to be. Apparently fat kids were using the totters
to catapult skinny kids over the fence or something and some kid got hurt. So
they took away the totters.
Leaving these signs up would be like leaving up deer crossing
signs if deer were extinct.
Those fat kids better not have been catapulting animals…
