A Slanted Plank Slide

I swung my long arms straight down beneath the wooden deck stairs to explore the cool shadows! Resting against the lower riser was an old wooden ruler, angled downward onto the damp dirt like a tiny ramp. I reached out both hands, hauled my belly onto the high end, and pushed off with a sharp kick of my heels. Wheee! I slid right down the smooth, yellowed wood, bumping gently into a patch of soft moss at the bottom! My belly zipper let out a happy rattle against the grain. I hopped up, dragged myself back to the top, and did it three more times!
