Would you be a child again? This post and image is inspired from the Doodlewash prompt – Playground.
When I was young, a very long time ago, playgrounds were really quite boring.
We had tall slides, swings and roundabouts. All painted in lead based paints, peeling from the sun. We had to imagine – fun.
Today’s playground equipment sucks the fun out of imagination! If you want to be an astronaut, there is probably a playground for it. Equipment designed in the shape of a spaceship, a fully enclosed slide to stimulate free falling, add on telescopes and steering wheels.
But where are the kids? Noses stuck in their mobile tablets watching documentaries and number blocks.
Do I sound bitter? More likely jealous!
And always test your ink pen to make sure it waterproof before applying watercolour!
