I wonder if we can let our kids just be kids?Fabulosokids Brucehttp://blog.fabulosokids.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2230384076641171546.post-55015481404283538402011-09-19T21:30:07.021-05:002011-09-19T21:30:07.021-05:00I remember seeing Bambi at the drive in... well, m...I remember seeing Bambi at the drive in... well, most of it. We (my little bro and I) fell asleep in our sleeping bags in the back of the station wagon. I remember Rocky Horror Picture Show too! <br /><br />Sometimes I think that our memories for these events are so strong because they were special, rare. Not commonplace and thus forgettable.<br /><br />Great list!Cookie’s Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539520794775363132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2230384076641171546.post-27914007144955696052011-09-19T18:21:17.900-05:002011-09-19T18:21:17.900-05:00I love this list.

Or something like that. Not to sound like a total treehugger, but there are a lot more chemicals in food, toys and everything else now than there were back in the day.<br /><br />And yeah, there's nothing wrong with being a minimalist - within reason, of course. Kids that grow up being given everything grow up to believe they should be driving a Ferrari to their McJob.

My dad tells me stories of the ice truck coming down his street and getting a block of ice and I have vague memories of our milk being delivered by the milk man when I was two. McDonalds was relished but also something that equated to eating in a five star restaurant these days. Now it's more commonplace to spend the few bucks on a fast food meal, but with the mindset of 'this is completely bad for me,' which makes us enjoy it a lot less :)Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469312477524652967noreply@blogger.com
