Cowboys and Indians, brings back memories.
We also played world war 2 , in which we divided into teams, and there would be teams of “Japs” and “Jerries”.
Holy crap, do that now, it’s time for school detention/intervention.
We all listened to great radio shows, then watched some of those same shows on early T.V., but we did NOT watch a lot of T.V.!
We were "social"...played with friends, talked with friends, didn't count "friends" on any machine and we KNEW who our friends were! I think that that alone made a BIG difference.
We also had parents and teachers who demanded that we follow rules! KIDS NEED TO HAVE RULES; OTHERWISE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO/HOW TO BEHAVE!
We also roller skated and road bikes in the street, didn't wear helmets or kneepads, and we didn't wear seatbelts in a car.HOW DID WE MANAGE TO SURVIVE? LOL
