[quote=Anonymous]Totally agree with you OP!

I remember when I was a kid, we used to chase the mosquito truck down the road and play in the mist.  There are people in DC bitching about mosquito control.  I guess they missed the memo concerning the dangers of mosquito bites.

Organic?  I grew up working every summer on my grandparents' (both sets) farms.  Trust me when I say, "organic" is not always a good thing.  We fed the "organic" (i.e. not treated) stuff to the animals.

Play dates?  Are you serious?  My kids just went outside and played.  They were outside all day during the summer and knew to come home when the streetlights came on.  They fished, swam in the lake, went to the pool, went to the gas station and got icees, climbed trees, played on real playgrounds (not the silly play structures designed to eliminate any risk).  They rode bikes and skateboards.  They played backyard tackle (*gasp) football.

And when they were thirsty....they drank from the closest water hose.

Were there injuries?  Hell yes!  Thankfully, none all that serious.  But plenty of stitches and broken bones.  It was just part of growing up without a helicopter parent micromanaging your schedule and your every movement.[/quote]
