Look Mom! New Fun for Kids!
So, I was watching tv the other night and an ad for this ‘lovely’ came on. Once I pulled my jaw off of the floor and recovered my ability to speak… Fisher Price Smart Cycle Presents like this make me want to send a letter of condolence to the poor, poor children.
my recurring thought was, “What the Hell ever happened to childhood”? Whatever happened to riding down the street with the wind blowing through your hair and the cards stuck in your spokes going click click click as you speed along behind your best friend with your backpack full of snacks, off to spend the glorious day in an empty lot, or tree, or behind a bush on the side of the road, ANYWHERE that you can find that makes you feel away from the world? Whatever happened to disappearing for the whole day, and coming home at night, because your mama calls you for dinner? What ever happened to that? I mean, I know, deep down what happened to that, I suspect, but really, can’t we bring that back? Work together?
Love,
Heather
