Yep, I grew up in a world where kids walked in from school, changed into play clothes, grabbed a snack and went outside to play. We even went up and down the street, knocking on doors, looking for someone to play with if nothing had been pre-arranged. TV was for rainy days...why I don't know. We just headed outside first.

And we roamed, too....roamed whole neighborhoods. Roamed wooded areas and construction sites. Didn't call to tell parents where we were or ask permission....just showed up for dinner, lol, or went home before dark...whichever came first.

And no faces on milk cartons then. I felt free, as well as unafraid. So different now in most parts of the country.
