We licked lead paint on our baby cribs, drank out of the garden hose and played outside even after dark.  I don't know about you, but those were the days.  Our kids these days haven't a clue as to what real fun is.  But I saw something advertised on television the other night that we should have had.

Usually when something says new and improved, I run for cover.  Not this time.

Remember in the old days how we filled up water balloons.  It took forever, they popped, they were hard to tie and by the time you got one ready to throw, you friends had pelted you with theirs.

These new ones attach to the water hose, fill 40 at one time, tie themselves AND now come with colored water inside that won't stain.  We should have had these.
