The biggest news here is there are still three boys who play outside. The mother that that was interviewed must be the real fossil....

The mega-fauna in North America went extinct about the time humans came on the scene...
Funny about that...

Ain’t that the truth!
In the 70s, kids lived outside.
And, the worst punishment in the world was yard restriction.
Sometimes my brother and I and our friends were 3, 4, or 5 miles away from home.
THOSE WERE THE DAYS

Me too. My kid brother and I would bike it to the Dairy Queen with spare change *at least* 4 miles away from home for an ice cream cone on a hot summer day.
We were gone for *hours* with no contact with home and it was completely normal. No one would have dreamed of having my Mother arrested for neglect for something that she didn’t know was happening.
To this day 40+ years later, she *still* doesn’t know, unless my brother told her....

We’d grab rifles and be gone for hours or even days. If our camping equipt was gone too they figured we were out in the woods somewhere and we had better come home with meat.

...went extinct about 11,000 years ago. Uh, the last ice age was in 1977, 41 years ago.
I know this because Time told me so.

50 and 60s, too. Us city kids went home when the street lights came on. Farm kids...when the sun was almost down...twilight...

She was looking the other way when they went out, confiscated their cell phones when she found out.

Mebbe a
Mousterian bowl?
Did one of'em have a funny pause in his words and dress like a 60's hippie?
Enquiring minds wanna know. d;^)

“THOSE WERE THE DAYS”.......
Sadly, never to be seen again. Growing up out in the country was like living in another world when we had to visit the city relatives. None-the-less, there were “adventures” in the city too but not as wide reaching as living in the country forests.

Amen to that. The only requirement was to be home for supper.
