Jazzy, growing up kinda out in the country, Mom sometimes would not see us during the summer months from after breakfast (which was sufficient to do us for the whole day) until evening meal time. Ah, those were the days! Fond memories. Built forts up in the woods, went skinny dipping, BB gun fights with neighbor kids down the road, building mud and rock dams across the little branch, catching crawdads, climbing trees, falling out of trees, etc. etc. It is a wonder we made it to adulthood!!
Fondest memory of all is sitting on the porch each evening watching the fireflies, listening to the hoot owls, and having a nice family visit before going in and washing our bare feet before going to bed.

“Out” is all you need to know, Cosmo.

Yes, those were the good old days. I’m glad they’re over. Now it’s my kids turn to deal with it.

So much easier for parents today because of the cell phones…when mine were growing up who knew where they were!

That is assuming your kids answer the phone when you call.

Radish the Kibitzer Get a copy of “Where did you go? Out. What did you do? Nothing”. A great book by Robert Paul Smith about childhood.
