English term or phrase: going down the slide
Olá, colegas.

Preciso de ajuda para traduzir a expressão acima no seguinte contexto:

"I don’t pry with that generation; if they want to talk about their experience, awesome, but I respect that many don’t. What Michael did want to talk about was going down the slide."

Muito obrigada!

Christina.

brincar no escorregador
Explanation:

Será que não está com sentido literal?

go down the slide
=
descer no escorregador, brincar no escorregador

Se Michael for uma criança, talvez não queira conversas sérias. Só quer falar sobre sua brincadeira, por exemplo.

Asker: Olá, Matheus. Apesar do Michael ser um veterano do Vietnã, ele literalmente queria brincar no escorregador considerando uma das fotos que ilustra o artigo. Vou adotar sua resposta e aguardar para poder atribuir os pontos. Muito obrigada!
