Outside

Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.

I think it's good for children to outside and play. My mother thought so, too. But she never wanted us wandering too far from home. I remember her caring words as we would go outside to ride our bikes:

"Don't cross the street or a truck driver is going to pick you up, take you to California, cut you to pieces, and mail you back home in a shoe box."

This instilled in me not only a sense to stay close to home, but fears of truck drivers, California, and shoe boxes.
