Nothing To Do

While walking the dogs last night we came across a small neighborhood park that had just installed a new Jungle Jim; it had a swing set, a couple of sides, and a small climbing wall with some stairs leading up to the slide and wall platform.  There were four children standing around; two of them, about seven years of age, were swing on the swings, while the other two, about age eleven, were just standing around watching.

 As we walked by I heard one of the boys say “What do you want to do”?  The other replied “I don’t know there’s nothing to do”.  Passing by I told the older boys “Too bad you guys are too big to use the climbing wall.  I’ll bet it would be fun”.   As we walked out of the park, I looked back and noticed that the two older boys had started to climb up the climbing wall, and as we rounded the corner of the park, one of the smaller boys yelled back at us “I made it to the top”.
