Mom's gonna have a fit when I get home. I fell from the monkey bars and tore my pants. Plus, I scraped both my palms. Ouchie owie. Did you go to the school nurse? No, I only do that on days when there's a quiz after recess.
But back then, mom would patch the holes from the inside with an iron on patch. I was jealous of dad, his patches were sewn on the outside like a badge of honor….
Back when a child could actually get hurt during recess! Today, if they even have recess, it’s likely in a completely padded room with foam squares to climb on and over…
neverenoughgoldNow they switched the chance of injury for the near certainty of one in football; the obvious abrasion immediately for dementia decades in the future; first aid now for no treatment possible in the future. And they call it protecting the children.

tcar-1Awsome! Around here it is a bit early for rut. Probably scouting out abundant food supply for the least interruption of the coming battle.
