Or before that.
The little kids curling up inside of tires and being pushed off of a hill and where they stop no body knows.
Riding on the fenders straddling the headlights, worked fine with the independent head lights.
Doing battle on stilts.
Six to ten year old kids feeding and milking cows, cleaning stalls, chicken and pig pens, carrying water for the garden, hoeing weeds, picking up potatoes.
Kids in school trading peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for bean sandwiches.
Kids sticking their opponents heads down the out house holes and a thousand other things, gee how did any one survive to fight in the first two world wars much less win.
On the other side of the coin kids could go to town and act like kids and not get into much trouble but today they have a record if they as much as fail to do a complete stop at a stop sign.
It is pathetic.
And I'll bet not one of them ever developed allergies fo any kind.
