Ok, well my object isn't really a picture
of mine. It is an image that I downloaded after much searching.
Some of my fondest memories of childhood revolve around activities
involving my parents as are many for most people...unless of course
your parents were abusive or involved in that weird shit you see
on Springer. So first I will describe the object. The object is
a "Play Tunnel" and was very popular in the late seventies
and early eighties. It is made of a series of steel rings for support
and covered in thin plastic. Kids stetch them out and make tunnels
for forts and whatnot. My father was a work-aholic so when he played
with us in the yard, it was like crack-high exciting. One of the
things he would do (That no other sane parent would do) is take
our play tunnel seen in this picture, and put around him and stand
up. He looked like a giant worm monster. He would run around the
yard with it pulled all of the way up over his head and growl. My
brother, and I would run around him daring to be caught by the worm
monster. We would eventually get close enough to be caught at which
time my father would bend over me or my brother encompassing us
in the tunnel and appearing to be eaten by the monster. He would
pick us up and lower us back down to the ground inside the tunnel
and we would pop out of the bottom and run around again. This provided
us with hours of entertainment.
