top ten ways to play with your kids without hurting your back

(File not found)

No wait, actually, I've got a couple:

1. Sit in an ergonomic chair. Put on a back brace. You may now play gin rummy with the rakish, devil-may-care audacity that the game, nay, that the craft demands.

2. Lie flat on the ground with a pillow under your knees. You may now play "sleep." There will be no sleep.

3. Assume a tabletop position on your hands and knees. You may now play NO NO NO MOMMY IS NOT A HORSEY.

4. Stand with your back against the wall. Relax your shoulders and make sure that you're respecting the integrity of your cervical vertebrae. You may now play the worst game of tag ever.
