Out With the Old

First day of high school Alicia, Sally, and Liam sat on the swings at the park. All three had their arms wrapped around the thick iron chains, leaning forward and kicking their feet but not actually swinging.

“It’s all different now,” Alicia complained.

“Yeah. They took out the slide and jungle gym and put in that plastic stuff.” Liam grumbled.

“Yeah. Now they got the good stuff, but won’t let us play. Oh, here comes the cop now.”

“Hey,” he shouted as he walked up. “Don’t you kids think you’re a little too big to be playing on the swings?”
