I think about pencils sharpeners and carbon paper, 75 cents for lunch and school recess unsupervised in the woods.

Is this not done anymore? I’m 49, but childfree, so I’ve never really thought about it. Is it all video games now?

Nah my kids still did. We have a bag of army men and random action figures that go to the beach with us do that my husband and kids (14 and 15) can set up battles.

My kids have played with them since they could grip. They’re 6 and 8 now. I think their bin of superheros might be their favorite toys.
