Today's Youth: From Back Lots to Black Ops, Times Have Changed

Remember Roller Skating?
Football, soccer, baseball, basketball, whatever. Didn't really matter most of the time as long as we were out there, together, havin' a good time.

If too many people were grounded, doing homework, out of town or just unaccounted for, we'd just turn to the old stand-bys. Hide and Seek, Kick the can, Smear the queer, (if you're offended by that, too bad—I didn't name it, I just loved playin' it).

From the time we got home, until the street lights came on, unless we heard the dreaded screech from our mother from the front porch, we'd be outside playing. Forming lasting relationships, creating memories, building character. - associatedcontent.com
