We have become a society of morons, panicking over things that are no danger at all. Same thing with people over-reacting to kids being allowed to play in the back yard, or walk to school, alone. If I had never done anything alone when I was 9 or 10, I wouldn’t hardly have done anything at all.
My brother and I were alone all day when he entered first grade-—I was in the fourth grade.
This started in about 1942 and included summer vacations.
My mother had been widowed young——yet we survived.
I cold even bank a furnace.
