We had a fine old time with the fine young Smurfs at yesterday's birthday festivities. I ended up with a sore knee afterwards, which took a while to correlate, until I remember getting clunked a couple of times by the tire swing for which I was providing the motivation. A normal tire swing is more prone to smudging than bruising, but rather than an actual rubber tire, this was a prefabricated plastic swing shaped to look like a tire, hence clunking rather than boinging it. Playgrounds are getting safer for kids, but they may just be getting more dangerous for grown-ups.
