I Miss Teeter Totters

I have kids of my own these days, and I go to the park every now and then. Have you noticed that teeter totters appear to have gone the way of the dodo?

I guess one too many kids was dumb enough to walk under the darn things or else lacked sufficient coordination to ride them properly. Either that or school/city officials got tired of the lawsuits from the parents of said clumsy kids. But parks in general just don’t seem to be putting in teeter totters anymore.

I know that for me they were a quick thrill as a child and one which I would very much like to pass on to my own kids (and hey, who knows I might be able to get a law suit out of it too).
