They had a bunch in mine playing outside yesterday.

We had a man from Africa visit our church several months ago. Asked what was the most unusual thing about America, he said the lack of people outside, especially at homes.

Of course, you really can't compare Africa and the USA, but it did make me realize he (and you) are correct. Kids don't play outside that much anymore. I try to get my grandkids out doors when they are here. Alot going on out there they are not aware of.

My neighborhood almost always has kids outside. We seriously have nearly 40 little girls the same age, when the weather is good they are all down in the cul de sac. Don't see my oldest for hours most days.

But Christmas day? Empty. Why? Most are on the road visiting local family after opening gifts. Or a few are out of town. It may pick up once the parents are sick of the kids being inside all day for winter break.

Get off my lawn!

Why aren’t you on my lawn!

Come on, old people, make up your minds.

here you go

You joke, but after charging that thing for 2 days the battery only lasted about 5 hours. It could be that I let him (he’s two) use it on high the whole time and it drained the battery quicker though

Not to sound insensitive, but would you want to sit inside the type of house most people of Africa live in?

My husband commented on the lack of kids outside then I reminded him we live in a neighborhood full of old people now.

It’s all about fortnite
