that slide is ready to scald those children in togas!

The Sisyphus legend is never explained well until many years later by Indiana Jones.

Rehearsing for his part as a dung beetle in the school play!

Where’s his three headed dog? Plus that’s Charon (Karen) on the swing giving him a judgmental side eye.

Kids do learn at a young age

As a kid it was often more fun to use (play on) playground equipment in way that it was not originally designed (or supposed) to be used.

Such as: Climbing or walking up a slide instead of sliding down it.

Swinging on a swing standing up. Twisting and spinning on swings. Swinging high and jumping off – to see how high and far you can jump.

2 person fight to knock the other person off the hand-over-hand bars.

SISYPHUS!!!

… gesundheit!

Hi, Bleeb. You are observing a myth in the making.

It’s all Greek to me!

Bleeding is waving Hi.

Ha! I remember him. The kid was always so pushy – but not if you’ were on the swings.

I guess Sisyphus in a “play” ground is supposed to be irony.

He never did figure out the easy way to do this.

Now he’s hogging the slide.

He was always inclined to be pushy.

Great idea!

his name sounds like a disease

Great shoulder exercise though

Break out the penicillin.
