Let the Kids on the Grass

“My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard. Mother would come out and say, “You’re tearing up the grass.” “We’re not raising grass,” Dad would reply. “We’re raising boys.” – Harmon Killebrew

When I saw this today I thought of the times I told the kids to not play on the front grass because it would tear it up.  If you have young kids, let them play on the grass. The grass grows, the kids grow; the grass is still out there but the kids are grown and on their own.
