    Daddy was one of the handful of lucky survivors who weren’t crushed by a SUV or abducted by a serial killer. Back then, families had, like, 13 kids so that at least one or two would survive the perils of playing outside.

      We had Minecraft and Lego as kids as well and still played outside a lot. I thought that mix was still mostly normal, is it not?

        They widened the roads, increased the speed limits, and made the cars bigger and more blind.

        So kids died, a lot, and parents banned going outside unaccompanied. Kids got tired of asking mum’s permission to go to the park like a baby, and just played video games instead.

      That’d be a great game. The entire neighbourhood is warfare. Cubby building, better sticks make for better guns, gotta make alliances with the right street, and make sure the kid with the fancy bike is on your side.
