Comment from Susanne M. Psyris
What a great short story you have penned. I thoroughly enjoyed the walk down memory (GOOD MEMORIES!!!) lane. This were very different when I and my husband grew up. So much simpler. Both of us born 1956; me, 47 days older than him! Everything you mentioned above, we experienced also. Did you forget "pogo sticks"? My God! I loved mine. Chased the neighbors down the street on it and scared them half to death! Now, that was clean fun. Really, really enjoyed. God bless and hugs, Susanne

Hi there,
I was a little confused by this piece. It's marked as fiction but feels more like a commentary. I assume it's a parent talking to one of their offspring.
It need a bit of an edit for spelling and grammar
Out teachers back then - our.
Time out should maybe be in inverted commas.
But whipped - butt.
My growing up - should be a comma after my.
Pledge of Allegiance, - should be a full stop instead of a comma.
Everyone was well behaved? I think this is probably rose tinted glasses here! LOL
helped neighbor' s should be neighbors.
each others back should be other's.
Let alone- this sentence doesn't make sense. It needs know or understand inserted.
times were touch should be times were tough.
From sun to sun doesn't make sense. Perhaps sun up to sun down.
A women's work should be woman's work.
Ther are always should be there.
All the best

tank you for your kindness

What an income interesting nostalgic view on a world that once was. Sometimes I wonder whether things actually were simpler or rather whether we are simply more informed these days? We all had much less access to technology, to news updates. The reporting of crime wasn't as rampant. The amount of television channels one could count on one hand and the internet was just a spooky concept super scientists had access to. Now we are the scientists, we can access hundreds of channels. Maybe we're just inundated with too much information? Maybe.
Thank you for stimulating the thought.
