Hobo Signs


While Gramma and Grampa Gritton were visiting last week, they bought the kids a kiddie swimming pool to try and beat the heat. Inside the packaging a small, very important set of instructions was included. Here is what I think it could possibly represent:

1.) Watch out for edge of pool when diving in.
2.) Enter pool head first only.
3.) Place head in pool.
4.) Big person may transform into little person upon getting wet.
5.) Big person wants to go under rainbow with little person and birds.
6.) If sick, barf in pool.
7.) Head will bounce off side of pool.
8.) If you fall in the pool, you will be eaten by babies and birds.
9.) Or the more obvious, watch your kids while they're swimming.

The picture reminded me of an exhibit at the Boston Science Museum that has different "Hobo Signs" for you to try and solve. Here is a website with Hobo Signs for y'all to take a look at. (3 weeks in the lone star state and I'm already speakin' Texan.)
