Tied UP

I'm working on an album for my SIL, getting those 
precious heritage photos out of a magnetic album.
And I happened to do a page that incorporated the OLW challenge. UP.
This photo is unique and I have heard the story but I want my SIL to do the journaling.
When she was a kidlet she had a set of siblings older than her
that were twins. When they went out in the yard to play
mom of course had housework and such and couldn't watch them, and the
older ones were fine they didn't need watching.
So instead of having the older watching the younger
mom tied a rope around her waist and fastened the other end 
either to a tree or cement block so she wouldn't leave the yard.
On one hand its hysterical, and with all the political correctness today
can you imagine that happening NOW??
No one was harmed and everyone enjoyed the great outdoors.
It really cracks me up.
If you would like to know more about this project

Thank you so much for sharing the story behind the picture :)
That's too funny and kind of unbelievable these days.
And I LOVE the idea of preparing the page but letting your SIL do the journaling herself!!!
