The strange activities of people trapped in a small town

So a little birdy (non-suicidal) told me that apparently my trampoline (yes, we have one and I'm aware of the dangers, so just keep your condescending gasps of horror to yourselves) has been used for things other than the innocent jumping activities of my 4 year old (and by "things" I mean SEX). Got your attention there didn't I? You were just going to skim through this post and that word in capital letters just drew your eye like a lazor beam. Sex Sex Sex. It's a very powerful word. But I digress...Yes, somebody (two somebodies actually) did the nasty on my tramp! Can I get a big "eeeeeeeeeeewww" from the studio audience please?! When I first heard this I was outraged! "How dare they! People have no respect for other people's property, my kids jump on that thing, that's just disgusting, etc!" No, I didn't actually exclaim "etcetera!" (but I think I will from now on because it sounds kind of funny). Then I started to wonder, if I was younger would I have had the same reaction, because honestly I was sounding a little curmudgeonly and that was scaring me. So I went to some friends to see how they reacted, and after the initial "gross!" they thought it was funny. Of course, maybe if it was them having to disinfect they're own trampoline they might not have found it so humorous. I decided that I'm not going to say anything to the perps (or a better word might be "pervs"), but I do think some motion lights are in order...

maybe you are just jealous you didn't "christen" the trampoline first......
