You didn't read closely enough. The kid's dad "went away for a while" which is a nice way of saying he got locked up and is doing time. The mom is on welfare so the kid is too poor to have a cell phone.

It was the brothers that were playing cards. Another clue that they were poor, cause they couldn't even afford to play video games. The men don't come around till after the kids go to bed.

It's got single moms, dads in jail, poverty. It's a tale for the modern age.

One Vike, you should probably play up the above listed angles. People like Kirkwood can't read between the lines so I don't think kids will either.

Just some notes.

Geez... Why are you insulting the poster by making snide remarks about his family life? Saying his dad was in prison and his mom on welfare. Not cool.

My point was that kids today can’t relate to normal life from generations past.

Is this your way of making fun of playing cards?
