This article is so true! Please include being born in 1960 to the age range because this is EXACTLY how I grew up too. We were raised as truly free people. You can add we rode our bikes with no helmet over makeshift ramps that were way too steep. In summer we’d pack a lunch and be gone all day until dinner off catching fish, or snakes, or just exploring our world while being in grade school. You can sum it up by saying “we lived”!
Oh, I remember. But I weep. All these things accumulate, in bodies. Who would we be.....without so much poisoning. How many hours a day do our hands touch plastic?
I DID NOT EAT WORMS! Everything else is true! I caught Praying Mantis's, frogs, toads, snakes, birds, bugs, tadpoles, which really freaked out my mom. We road our bikes everywhere, sometimes with playing cards attached to the spokes, so we sounded like badasses. We were actually free to be kids. Being a kid in the 60's and early 70's was great.
