The Swings Can Be For Grown Ups Too

Rachel was a 49 year old woman, that loved the swings. She was at the playground, on the swings. Her husband, Tom, was pushing as fast he could. Rachel wanted to swing higher. "Whee!" exclaimed Rachel. "This is fun!"

Just then, a girl saw her on the swings, and she didn't seem to approve. "Since when does a grown woman go on the swings?" she snorted. "The swings are kids only, not for grown ups."

"Doesn't matter to me!" laughed Rachel, still on the swings. "Grown ups can play on the swings, too!"

"Exactly!" said Tom.

"Get off the swings!" demanded the girl.

"No way!" said Rachel, still swinging, like there was no tomorrow. "I don't have to listen to a brat like you! Get lost, kid!"

"Yes, get lost!" said Tom. "The swings are for everybody!"

"This isn't over!" warned the girl. And, with those words, she walked away. Rachel and Tom ignored her, and all that mattered was that Rachel was having fun.
