This high end purchased tarp provided endless hours of summertime splashes and infinite knee gashes. The Wham-O Slip 'n Slide was the upper crust suburban solution to backyard fun. When the mommies wanted to congregate and conversate, the yellow runway supplemented the sugar infused children with a little backyard bath.
As I reflect upon these slippery summer days, I take a moment and smile. In some way or another, we all have scars from childhood: the schoolbus pecking order, the cafeteria social hierarchy, the playground politics, etc. However, the only adolescent scars that have transcended into my adult life are the ones located on my elbows and knees.
