When I was a kid there was plenty to do in summer, with zero cash. We were kicked out of the house at breakfast, met up with the other kids on our bikes, showed up at somebody’s house for lunch, home for dinner, out again for hide-and-seek in the dark. Crime was never a problem.
Now there are crooks, thugs and pervs on every corner
The good old days. It was the same with me but occasionally I’d be grounded for several days at a time for minor offenses.
