[blparent] Trampolines, yes or no?

[Samara Raine]

We had a tranpoline growing up. After I got hurled over the fence from a 
particularly hard bounce from my brother, my mother made the rule that only 
one person was allowed on at a time. When there was a family gathering, this 
rule was relaxed a bit, but everyone else is right. If there are rules and 
you stress that if these rules are broken, the priveledge of using the 
trampoline is revoked, everything should be all right.

Do you have a dog? Very disgusting, but our poodle liked to poop on the 
trampoline. Some dogs find it fascinating, so keep an eye out for that if 
you have one and get a tramp.
