That was set in the mid 80s. It was a great time to be a kid.
I remember my mom locking the door behind me when I went out to play during the summer. I was allowed back in the house for lunch, and when it got dark. If I was thirsty, I would drink from the hose. I was 7, and I owned the world. I don't think kids are allowed to grow up like that anymore.

They aren't. My daughter's childhood is nothing like mine was.

I have 4 kids, literally mine and all their friend’s parents still do this and they all play outside till dark. Both my jobs require me out in the public quite a bit, kids are outside till dark or later just like we were. Adults are just glued to their phones too much to realize it.
