We had six kids in our family, and my mother would dress us up in snowsuits and make us play outside all day. I remember standing under the kitchen window pleading to come in, and her face would appear telling us to stay out and play!

Same here, but it was 98 degrees with the full Florida sun, and she’d tell us to drink from the hose and she’ll make us a pitcher of Kool-Aid when she finishes vacuuming.

Kool-Aid...with a cup of SUGAR! But we weren’t obese. Oh yeah!

In winter we would look for the most dangerous looking hill we could find for sledding.
