i saw the depressingly small jungle gym box thing standing while eating outside at the local burger king and it got me sad. they used to be much larger, with bridges and such and they used to have these sometimes sprawling, large indoor ones, which really felt like you were exploring something.

i was at some mcdonalds once which had a race track, like, you could race against other kids and see who would clear the parkour the fastest.

i love seeing these things which were made for kids and you can really feel the adults making the things really meant it. they really wanted to make a fun and interesting experience for the visitors. that’s beautiful in my eyes.

i wish you a wonderful day in which you don’t need to hide yourself.

    I take my kids to these soft play activity centres. There are loads of parents running around inside these with the excuse of looking after their child… Their child is off in another corner having fun, and so is the parent. I see you man.

      Where I live they do evenings just for adults, its really fun. Being silly in the ball pit with random grown up people definitely restored my faith in humanity for a while.
