My mom would give us sheets of waxed paper to ride down on, thus waxing the slide so we could go faster!
Clearly your mom is/was a fucking legend. That is such a cool story.
You should have seen the stuff she let my brothers get away with! A lot of which involved lighting gasoline fires. Looking back, she may have actually wanted them to kill each other.
We'd fill both front pockets with sand. Once at the top of the slide, we'd throw the sand down the slide, dusting it up real nice, to make us go faster!
Of course, a fussing from Mom was always the direct result - back of my pants would be black when I'd get home.
Sounds like the wax paper would have been a lot cleaner!!
And waxed paper was a luxury, so we had to use it judiciously i.e. sneak a piece when mom wasn't looking.
Been there, done that!
