most of his prior field research had led him to the conclusion that slides were supposed to be slid down while sitting on one’s posterior. but in a curious turn of events, he’s recently observed that some Big Kids like walk up the slide.

to the best of my knowledge odin has not yet constructed a coherent theory that explains the behavior, but he definitely believes it warrants further study.

given his intense interest in the The Slide, he missed the unique opportunity to observe a mentally challenged adolescent boy who pulled down his pants to take a pee while seemingly oblivious to the horrified protests of a young mother standing nearby with her children. seemingly i say, at least until he started throwing bark chips at her.
