  2. Take a shovel. Put the shovel down in behind the pee snow. Lift the shovel up. Throw the pee snow into the street. Enjoy your fort.

  6. Time for some quid pro quo!
    Send your kids over to pee on the dog owner’s door. That’ll learn ’em!

  9. Put the entrance to the fort where it’s not facing the sidewalk. Design flaw.
