Growing Up In a Different Age
I definitely miss those SAFER, carefree days! Back in those days,kids roamed their street safely playing with the other kids in the neighborhood. I remember many summer nights of catching fireflies,racing down the street,and riding bikes until the street lights came on. Not a sign to come in the house,but to move to the yards.
I really detest this "hurried child" syndrome,too.Most kids I know today, are much too "grown up " to actually play at ten years old. My friends and I still had dolls in the sixth grade! I recently saw a picture of one I will not name who is only just turning 11. She was wearing clothing and makeup of a 20 year old. So sad.
