Infuriating
This is how we reward kids who actually show some intiative to get up from in front of the tv or computer?
I really miss the days of my youth (the late ’70’s and early ’80’s), where we would stay out playing all day during the summer, wander the neighborhood, play baseball in the street, walk miles and miles, unsupervised no less, and as long as we were home before dark, everything was fine. I really feel that inspired a certain kind of adventurous, self-sufficient person and this kind of narrow-minded, controlling thinking makes me sad for their childhood and wonder what kind of people and society we’re trying to end up with.

That’s awful. I remember those summer days out until dark (and just a little longer, pleeeeeeease) so well…a shame that kids today have to fight legal battles to have that
On a different note, give the poor kid a wiffle ball field! He already has to live with the name Provenzano

I’m glad someone else has similar memories Michele! And it’s not as though I’m talking about 50 years ago, but things have changed a lot.
The Provenzano name didn’t even click with me. That poor kids deserves a wiffle ball field!!
