No cell phones or computers.
Playing in the neighborhood until the street lights came on.
Having the milk man deliver milk (and ice cream and chocolate milk if we were good).
Square cafeteria pizza.

It’s seems to me that an overwhelming majority say riding bikes. I’m so grateful to have grown up in such a great era of kids being kids. RIP 90s

In the summers we were on adventures everyday. Taking a boat in the bayou or out in lake pontriatrain. No phone, never inside. Come home to eat on the porch then head out. Living next to the baseball field was fun too.

Riding bikes all over town, playing without adult supervision, only your imagination, being off the the grid because there was no grid....
Most all the stuff fondly mentioned involves a level of freedom unknown today, even to adults who grew up in those days. How and why we let freedom slip away is baffling, and something we may regret one day.

Lawn darts and mercurochrome - in that order.

Agreed. I think it would be unthinkable for many parents today to have your 10-11 year old gone all day on a bike and you didn't know where he was or have any way to get in touch with him. That was my childhood.
