Modern Life

[McMouse]

It’s strange to live in a time when a child can’t pretend to be a Red Indian, but a grown man can pretend to be a Woman.

I imagine kids are more likely to be playing Minecraft than cowboys and Indians: outdoors is a dangerous place. But there's no law that I know of stopping them.

Gone are the days when you opened the door in a morning and the kids disappeared for hours on end. Only came home when they were hungry. They were not encouraged to sit for too long in front of the TV set because they would get 'square eyes'. Now it's all changed. Children no longer play outdoors as much. Instead they are tapping away on their phones or watching some rubbish on tv. Modern life is destroying their social interaction.

The local kids play outside where I live

and here barry; just probably not as young as they used to do it

I live in a cul de sac with a wood at the back of the gardens so it's fairly safe and secure.
