Drabble by Kevin Fagan for July 28, 2022

sometimes the beauty lies in the simplicity.

I liked the lawn sprinkler, too, since my yard wasn’t big enough for a pool.

A lot of younger kids would rather just play with the box as well.

The pool isn’t big enough to use the toys.

Sometimes the simple things are the best!

They need to rake the green slime off the top of the pool and add a little bleach.

Ooh, is that a Slip ‘n Slide in panel 1? Those were so much fun back in the day!

Like cats….you spend $50 for a fancy cat bed and they like the box better that it was shipped in.

I don’t think i ever had a kiddie pool as a kid. All the neighborhood kids preferred lawn sprinklers (70’s).

That’s a good thing, the kids are having fun and lawn is getting watered.

At least they’re outside!

And as soon as it starts raining, they all run inside.

The mother reminds me of Donna Reed—never without her pearls no matter the time of day.

Yes, I and the grand kids do love to frolic in the lawn sprinklers. Great way to cool down on hot and humid days.
