I had a lot of friends.

I was rarely in the house as a kid. I went in for drinks, dinner, and when Dukes of Hazard was on. Rainy days sucked and we usually still found a way to go out.

My kids are the same now. My youngest can entertain herself for hours with a bucket, a spoon and a pile of dirt.

I used to play outside all the time. Some days, I'd go outside in the morning and wouldn't come in until that evening.

You missed out by going inside when it got dark. Night tag/hide-n-seek with flashlight was the shit. :wink:

Mom's rule was when the street light came on, I had to come inside. ^^

There were times, during the summer, though, when I was allowed to play outside like early evening and it's partially dark. Hide and seek at that time was fun. I guess my mother was more lenient during the summer months, but during the school year, no if ands or buts. Street light came on, I was to be walking in the door. I disobeyed once...I was grounded so bad too for that. :oops:

Well, that sucks. I guess I should be happy that for the majority of my childhood we lived in the country...no street lights and my watch was always slow. :wink:

[Anywho, I live in a suburban area, and it was pretty quiet around here. I think the main reason she had that rule, not counting the summer, was due to the fact that I had to be up early every morning, and didn't want me falling asleep in school. Now that I'm thinking more about it, I think I did hang outside at night a lot during the summer months. During the summer, I think I do recall her giving me a time to be in as opposed to the street light rule, like during the school year.

You have helped me to trigger lost memories. lol

Just call me retro-piggy....or not. :lol:

My youngest is in by dark because she goes to sleep as soon as it gets dark. She is up with the sun every morning though. Her latest obsession is the slip-n-slide I bought her for ten bucks. I put it on the hill (package says not to for some reason lol) and she slides half the day, then plays in the dirt while still wet. That is the reason for the reoccurring use of the carpet cleaner at my house but your only little once, gotta live it up.

Last week she told me should could fly. I'm scared of the hospital bill that comment has attached to it. Time will tell.
