Day at the park,,

I work graveyard (that is about to change) so I am tired 90% of the time. Yesterday I decided to take my son to the park, because the weather was so nice. I took him to a section of the park that looks like a pirate ship. He played there for about 45 minutes with two other kids, until the crowd came in. When I say crowd I mean, school must have been over and it was time for the older kids to take over. Plus, I was tired of the girl he was playing with telling her brother to "chase that little girl" His hair isn't even that long!!!! He was wearing a shirt that said "Ladies Man"... another subject.. another time. We walked past the dog park area, stopped and watched the dogs for a bit and made it over to our normal play area. It's a small fenced in area, that is OBVIOUSLY meant for toddlers. There were three guys hanging out there. As we got closer I could smell weed. Then I noticed that one of them was lying inside the tube slide tagging it up. Look, I don't care if you smoke weed. Hell, some people need to... but really?! You have to do it at the section that is obviously meant for small children. What pissed me off more than the weed was the fact that they were painting INSIDE the slide. I mean, if they had left and we arrived not long after them my son would have gone down the slide and been covered by paint. Not cool.

A few years before I had my son I was involved in an accident (I'll tell that story another time, as well!) and the police officer could smell weed on me. He bluntly told me, "I don't care if you smoke weed.. just do it in your apartment.." That's the way I feel about it. If you're gonna do it.. do it on your time, and place.. not whats meant for kids. Also, it's not cool to wreck things meant for small children. I get the whole tagging as art thing, and I'm cool with that. Putting tags inside a slide is not art. It's a crime. Buzz off.
