Have you been to a maternity ward recently? Whew. Prison resembling conditions start at birth in publicly funded and privately funded hospitals. You have to be buzzed in and out and have your bracelet checked and sometimes scanned before you can hold your own baby. I guess the same is true in pediatric wings of hospitals.
I was telling hubby earlier about how much fun we used to have in school when we would sneak out the windows while the teacher was away. You can’t do that anymore in most schools because there are no distracting windows. I blame air conditioning. We did not have a/c in our classrooms in Mississippi. We had windows and fans to blow the hot air around.
When I was in high school, guys left their hunting rifles in the gun holder mounted across the back window of their pickups, with the pickup unlocked in the parking lot of the school. We didn’t feel like that made us like inmates in a prison.
