Anybody remember, “come home when the street lights come on.”?Oh yeah. And I remember that ANY parent in the neighborhood could discipline you and your parents would be mortified. Not because they did it but becaused you acted in a way that required it.

My mom had a signature whistle so we knew when to come eat but after dinner, during the summers and on weekends we played half the night. We played a game called Ditch ‘em and lots of others but what a life. My grandkids can only imagine how much fun we had.

Actually, it was “be home for dinner time”.
Then if you played after, it would be until twilight.
