Remember when you were a kid, and it was summertime and you didn’t have a pool so your parents let you run through the sprinkler? It was a win-win for our parents, possibly even a win-win-win, because:
- They didn’t have to have a pool
- The kids got cooled off
- The kids got exercise. Nobody walked through the sprinkler. We all ran. Even the soaker hose thing. We ran through that. (Was I the only one who ran through the soaker hose?)
- No twenty minute wait after lunch!
- The grass and maybe the garden got watered
- Depending on the kid’s speed, the sprinklers cleaned up the kid. The slower, heavier kids got cleaned up pretty good. The faster, nimbler kids, not so much.
Now they open up hydrants for the kids. Those kids might lose some epidermis from the water pressure, but that hydrant really cleans ‘em up.
