Memory Day: Snapshots

This picture was taken in the summer of 1983.

While other kids were playing with their Slip'n'Slides and Super Soakers, we got to run in the sprinkler while Dad watered the grass, using nothing but washed out margarine containers and dollar store water guns that leaked everywhere. We also had to dodge prickly sticks and walnuts in the grass, both of which hurt more to step on than Legos.
