...do you remember our parents having to call us home with a shrill "sccchhhwweeeet" whistle that I think is mostly lost on the generation in which I am parenting. I can't put two fingers in my mouth, send out a screech like that and have my kids bail out of a nail-bitter game and run toward the house in mid-play....and my kids are squared away and obdient.
I guess it's easier to call them to dinner now from their computer games and facebook. Like I said, my kids are much more active than most, but having as many open lots unused everyday makes me melancholy. Sorry for the "walk down memory lane" that Lex provided me and I posted, but, man something is being lost in the greater game and he mentioned it.....
