Ended up a riotous little party, probably because I declared my house to be the “Fountain of Youth” early in the day – thus giving everyone license to regress.
There are very few things more entertaining than a couple of 9-year-olds playing leap frog with a couple of decidedly “middle-aged” men back and forth across the yard, as they try to avoid the dog (not to mention said dog’s “little presents” in the grass)
