this is what kids did before video games and endless kid show reruns on cable- use their imagination and go outside....
I was watching another show on the staion...dinasour train..yeah I know I'm weird..and they were talking about discussing nature....
it made me think back to a kid, and how we went into the woods, and took apart rotten logs...we wanted to find salamanders, and do a race with them....that we thought was great, until we kind of grew out of it.......and lol....discovered boys, and stuff like that...
but yeah......what did we do before....we used our imagination.....kept tadpoles in an old bathtub, whatever.....do kids still even do stuff like that today..
when my neice was 12, I went to her place.....not sure if I mentioned this before....but, I said to her, it's so nice outside, why don't you go out, don't stay on that computer....she didnt' want to...
I went outside, and said to her father, when we were her age, we wouldn't have dreampt about staying in the house on a day like this....
yes, we would have been outside exploring nature, and whatever, going for a walk, whatever....not staying in the house on a computer...
so......this perhaps is a throwback to go outside, kids have fun, use your imagination and all that...even though you're having fun, you're learning too.......and oh gee, I don't know, getting fresh air......
