Pants off dance off

The people across the alley from my parents have a trampoline. They also have children. I imagine most people with a backyard trampoline do. With the new backyard setup my folks have, they occasionally see children bouncing into view over the wooden fence.

It made me think of this comic I saw once: 

When I was over at the house yesterday, I got to see the boys across the alley popping up rhythmically over the fence during the afternoon, and though I was warned, I was still ill-prepared for what they were doing around dinner time. 

The children across the alley apparently enjoy a certain amount of naked trampoline time every evening. I swear, I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't had the misfortune of actually seeing it. 

I'm going to give that a moment to really sink in.

Mom put it best. I mean, they're just bouncing around with their little dinguses flopping. 

Wow. So very many questions. Laurie erred on the side of compassion. She thought that may be a coping mechanism that a frustrated single dad used after dinner but before bath time. Mom wondered if one of the boys may eventually get his dingus stuck in a spring. Ouch. 

I figured it was a dangerous thing on a whole different level- that any van-driving pervert with a bag of candy would, upon learning of this ritual, break down the fence for a better view. 

Dad and Danny had apparently witnessed this before while walking out to the shop in the backyard, and while it disturbed them both, it was no longer shocking. 

Not me. I'm still pretty shocked. I love my parents' new backyard oasis, but I'm pretty disturbed about the view around dinner time.
