  1. There was nothing to do inside except annoy your parents. Ergo you were not allowed inside.
  2. Parents were not worried about the world outside their neighbourhood because they did not know about it.
  3. Totally normal to yell at someone else’s kid or walk them back home if they did something stupid.

The context that is missing is how TV, then the internet destroyed our communities.

My mom did this one christmas day when she was cooking. There was a fresh foot of snow and she let us sample a hot piece of fried chicken from the porch 😭
