So I was with my kids at the park the other day. They wanted to go on the swings so naturally I got on with my job (one arm per child - push away). After they'd lost interest and ran off I jumped on myself and you know what? They're pretty good fun.

Was going to title this "Swinging is fun" but, well....

Swings were always some of my favorite. When we had one attached to the tree in the front yard I'd try to touch the leaves with my toes. Currently, the only issue stopping me from using a swing is hating going outside and to places

I mean I feel that. Unfortunately my kids actually like going outside. I don't understand it myself but..

I'm also not allowed outside without having been sprayed down with some OFF. Without it i get bitten 30 times within 20 minutes!

OFF that proceeds to sweat into your eyes with 20 seconds of going outside, because it’s 8000 degrees and 1500 percent humidity.

I’m not sure how I forgot about this particular feature of OFF, but you nailed it.
