My Catholic playground [View all]

The Catholic school I attended had a traditional playground. Slides, climbing bars, roundabout, swings and things on an asphalt base. The one unique item was a double slide.

It was very tall. It had one set of stairs that led to the top where you were given the option of a straight angle or one with a slight hump midway down. Here's the weird part, only the girls were allowed to use the side with the bump.

I suppose there is something in the Bible that dictates that, but even as a kid I knew not to ask certain questions of the nuns.
