[quote=Anonymous]Anyone ever read "a tree grows in Brooklyn?" It's fiction but it's a pretty accurate description of life there at that time. My mom was running errands (shopping!) in Brooklyn ny at 4-5, taking along her 2-3 year old brother, while my grandmother worked. Yes-this was in the late 30s. Yes life is different. But the point is kids are capable. Our expectations and lifestyle structure today don't really allow for it. [/quote]
