Guess kids don't play in the woods now either.

Kids don't do anything that hasn't been created, designed, or organized for them by adults. The whole Soccer-schedule-runs-the-family syndrome is a case in point. I used to vanish into the woods after breakfast and emerge bug-bit and sore at dusk.

Several generations of kids "discovered" the same creeks and ponds, and were sure they were the first. How can you be the "first" to discover the food court at the mall?

I'm glad I'm not a kid now.

Ahhh that was so good! Well, if I have children, they shall play in the woods. I'll kick them out if I have to!

And designed to reinforce the politically correct biases of the "adult" organizers.
