I love this! I love the old houses with wall phones, the absence of the microwave, and our vinyls and cassettes still high-tech stuff that made us more advanced than our grandparents. And this: "punishment" to be kept indoors! Today's kids never seem to voluntarily go outside and get close to nature. They have more bee phobias (and spider) than I've ever seen in one generation. What happened to them?? Why are they so afraid of dirt, bugs, weeds, and nature?
I love your emphasis on the LIE about ice cream after a tonsillectomy. You write splendidly. Just to write competently will set you apart, these days, but you are more than competent. Good to see you back again!!!
Please don't tell me you've been writing all along and I just didn't see it until now
I will not tell you LOLL
I think it is very sad kids now don't know the freedom of Outside. You learned so much.
Thank You for your great comment and for stopping by!!
You're welcome. I've limited myself to reading things with the #freewrite tag and have missed out on so many other writers - like you! - and now I have to check on @byn as well. I need to visit the @curie showcase more often. And #theluvbug. So many people to read!
