WTF with parents going on Spring Break with their kids?

[r32]

Have you met clayster?

No, have you?

No bro, that's child abuse.

So much of how we lived in the 70s and 80s would be considered child abuse. Every fucking kid has a water bottle at all times, FFS. When I was young the only kids who died of dehydration were HS football players in Texas.

One of the most fun bands to see on Del Playa in Isla Vista in the 90s was Latch Key Kids, probably named after the Bad Religion song.

Lol, I saw them (and played with them) many times at The Living Room.

We used to suck water out of sprinkler systems for hydration. Of course, this was before "gut microbiome" was uttered every fucking hour.

We used to flood the front lawn and play slip-n-slide. And I probably drank water from the hose as much as I drank it from a faucet.

Hose water was so good. When someone else was drinking I'd hold my foot on the hose to gate back some of the pressure and then release. Instantly clean out your friend's sinuses.

I bet if you bottled "hose water" you could sell it as a novelty and make some money.

Can't find it but Penn & Teller had a show called "Bullshit!" and they did a whole segment on bottled water industry. They set up hidden cams in a restaurant and set up fake 'water menu' for gourmet water and were literally out back filling the glasses with hose water for the customers.

When I was working for UC Santa Cruz, this was until 2010 or so, parents would call my office (gift management/Foundation) and try to get their kids into classes that were full. I heard stories about parents accompanying kids to meetings with professors.

Dang.. that looks just like me.

We're taking our kid on spring break next week. She's 9. Gonna play on the beach and in the pool till the wheels fall off.

 

[Clayster]

Did you pound any freshman co-eds?

Negative. There weren't any freshman there.

Depends on the trip.
When conditions and schedules allow, we often get a place in Mammoth for spring break so our son can host a bunch of his friends. They do their thing we do ours. More often than not, they stoke the fridge every night and we eat well and recap the day's events. If they go out, we're fast asleep before they return. If one of them gets lucky, they've been respectful and enjoyed themselves at the unfortunate persons place.
As Clayster notes above, there is an absurd amount of laughing and good times.
Now if the destination is Mazatlán via the desert train for a week long fiesta of booze and copious amounts of casual sex, that would be very creepy.

GBG? The lack of wine references makes me have doubts....maybe the guy who repo'd power boats back in the day? Sensual Surfer? Naw, too raw. Subway on the rebound? The new and improved SurfFueteventura? SGVL? He liked it raw dawg. Eh, he was just a voyeur. Eunice? No, no blood and saws. Inquiring minds....
