Really well written, the old woman is such a vivid character. I can't even imagine telling someone to stop being outside and go play your computer game, but it's true, it is becoming like that.Lexy3587http://goneforawalk.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009654420271577413.post-35137465932337406732012-03-15T22:22:59.588-07:002012-03-15T22:22:59.588-07:00Thanks for linking up to Trifecta this week.

I've got the playing-outside type of kids, and I'm grateful for it. The flip side is that when they see their friends' gaming systems, they're completely dumbfounded. :-) Hope to see you back again soon.Trifectawritingchallengehttp://www.trifectawritingchallenge.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009654420271577413.post-31074952713689488572012-03-15T13:16:48.110-07:002012-03-15T13:16:48.110-07:00I love that first line.

We've done away with a lot of the technologies available, and I am dying to put a fence up in our back yard to be able to kick my kids outside without me more. Not so much to get them away from me but rather to give them that time without me. We live in a place that does require the fence, fast cars in the alley, and the area is on the rougher side, otherwise I'd kick 'em out now!karenhttp://karenismuttering.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009654420271577413.post-763780416431923852012-03-14T16:05:09.463-07:002012-03-14T16:05:09.463-07:00Very moving and relevant.

She had a horrified look on her face and asked, "What did you PLAY with?" I laughed and told her we played in the woods. She did not get it at all. I can't imagine being ten and not knowing how to entertain myself outside.

Just the other day my mother and I were commenting how even though technology has allowed us to progress as a society, it's also served to create a great divide in relationships and families. There are days I yearn for the old days--days filled with board games and outdoor play. Days when families had dinner together and actually had conversations.
