When We Were Young

Didn't we all wish we could stay in the play park forever? When the grown-ups said "time to go home, come on." We said we'd play all night.

Then there may be a fair few of us that spent and evening or two in the park, perhaps it was easter break, there may have been hijacked liquor of sorts, and singing and definitely some smooching with the boy or girl that made you heart go all fluttery...

Well, my kids are at the former and I reminisce about the latter now and again. But this took the absolute p*ss.

The moment the gate clanged shut, the heavens opened. We dove under the slide, thinking it to be a short burst, to no avail. What became an exciting adventure, turned into "Can't we go now?", turned into "It's cold and I need a pee!" After 20 minutes I sent a pleading SOS to twitter and facebook.

All's well that end's well. We got home between splashes and gained hot chocolate and pajama points from the boss. Win.
