School’s out for the summer and you would hardly know kids exist. It is rare to see them outside anymore. I see a lot of empty baseball fields. The only kids at the park are brought there in large day care group herds.
When I was a kid, the only time we were inside was when we got hungry, then it was back outside.
We did some crazy things and lived through them somehow. A lot of kids today have no real life.
Same for me, except sometimes the weather was really bad and then we all showed up at one guy's house and played Bridge.
