@covidstinks2023 Not to mention countless hours of unsupervised playtime with other kids -- snowball fights, baseball games, swimming pools, etc.
When I was about 10 and living in Wausau, Wisconsin, a couple other kids and I walked down past the airport to the banks of the Wisconsin River and followed the river down into Schofield, then walked back via Grand Avenue, a busy highway.
I got home tired and filthy. My mother was aghast that I'd gone so far.
The next week, we did it again -- only we went further.
Somehow, we all survived.
