Mom arives, grabs a drink and sits down in the back yard until she decides it's time to go hours later. No clue what her son is doing the entire time.
I have a hill in my front yard, slopes down to the sidewalk. I set up a slip-n-slide for the youngins. They slip and slide off the end, and stop in a matter of 3 feet on the grass. The end of the slip n slide is about 5 feet from the sidewalk. So tubby decides he's going to go down the slip n slide. I happen to be in the front yard at the time. Kid almost skids right on to the sidewalk. Holy crap, says I. That would hurt. So I spend the next 20 minutes catching this fat ass at the end of the slip n slide, instead of getting drunk in my back yard. Finally the kid takes a break, and I resume intoxicating myself. About 10 minutes later, hysterical screaming from the front yard. Fat ass went down the slip n slide and skidded all the way across the sidewalk, skinning his legs and arms. We all had a good laugh when they left. Best part - his mom is too squeamish to deal with the blood. So my wife takes the kid inside to the bathroom and cleans him up, but instead of grabbing hydrogen peroxide to cleanse the wounds, she accidentally grabbed rubbing alcohol. The kid was screaming his head off.
Oh, good times, good times....
