What was it like?  |
Your day started like this...you got up...your mother said...it's pretty. go outside and play. You were allowed to come back for lunch...but she probably really preferred that you didn't. You just had to go in when the street lights came on. If someone had kidnapped you back then...they would've had a 10-12 hour head start before your parents ever worried...and that worry started out as MAD....cause you were late
Then you did whatever....played kick the can, hide and go seek, rover red rover....or made up games, we built forts, dug tunnels, swam in the cathole, played in a farmer's field of corn (he probably loved that), rode bikes, rode skateboards, rode rollar skates...rode anything with wheels and some without. There wasn't anything to do INSIDE....cept your mother watching as the world turns....
The fun was OUTSIDE.
One time C had a cookout for her birthday....we taught the kids...hide and go seek. They had NEVER played this game before...and talked about how fun it was for years.
