I often wonder what the kids of today will think about their childhood, I sure miss my childhood days, they weren't perfect but I still miss them, no going back though, forward, always forward!

My curfew was the street lights coming on; I ate what Mom cooked; I played outside after I ate, as long as I "cleaned my plate"; we all went to the park or the school ground to play softball or kick the can; the boys and girls played together (even though we all hated each other); I don't think anyone had any idea that a kid might be snatched by an ex or assaulted by anyone. We came home at bed time, tired, dirty and happy. My how the world has changed!

Come to think of it, sometimes I still come home tired, dirty and happy. lol

My mom would pinch her bottom lip and suck in. Loudest, shrillest, most recognizable sound throughout the entire  neighborhood. Other kids would pass on the message if somehow we missed it (selective hearing). And the oven somehow gave out the odors of whatever was cooking inside. Roast was the best smell. There was a school playground around the corner and a city park a few blocks over where we’d spend hours playing or fishing or exploring. Alone or with a few chums. And the parents never worried.....
