I was a child before ball pits were really a thing. I do have very young toddlers now though. Ive heard that theyre super duper unhygienic? Makes sense I guess.
You need to tie the opening shut if you plan to leave them unattended, though. Even then, they can get out, the slippery little bastards.
This reminded me that when I was a kid, my best friend had a privacy flip lock on the outside of his bedroom door. I remember asking about it, but I don't remember what he said. I'm guessing they locked him in his room when he was sent to his room for being bad.
When I was in grade school there was a girl in a wheelchair that would make the circuit of school assemblies warning of the evils of trampolines. Never touched one to this day.

Back in my day, trampolines didn't come with walls. You just flew off the side, or got your legs jammed between the springs. Bah! Kids today!
I haven't broken many bones, but every bone I've broken broke during an unplanned trampoline dismount.
I haven't broken many bones, but every bone I've broken wasn't one of mine.
Call this guy an ambulance. Just to hover his surrondings.
We were rowdy kids.
I've enjoyed many hours on trampolines and have never broken a bone or incurred any injury whatsoever.
I think this every time I see a trampoline with the walls and stuff.
Getting double bounced by an older siblings and launched into the stratosphere is truly terrifying.
Yup, my mom bought one for my brother and I. Just a rectangle with exposed springs. No pads, no walls or nets.
We never did get hurt, but man, we could do that double-jump timing thing and send each other ridiculously high.
That was how I got my first head injury!
And playpens. That one literally has pen in the name
I like to think of it as rage in the cage, like wrestlemania but for kids
Fight! Fight! Fight!

For germs, a ball pit is like rolling around on a bathroom floor.
how do you write with a trampoline?
Ball point pen
Fountain pen
Ink pen
Things that probably don't go well with trampolines
If you think about it, blow up dolls and bouncy castles serve the same purpose:
the key difference though, is the format of the kids you put into each.

What if you don't inhale?
That was the slogan for the 'Don't Huff Electronics Duster Even Though It's Fun And Easy To Steal' assembly they had the week after.
Trampolines are for every fit adult and child.
For kids? 🤨
