Haha, those people are hilarious. I love how they never talk about how and why Texas joined the US. Too embarrassing for them I guess.

But they are big enough to go it alone if they wanted.

It's the same way where I am. The only time you usually see kids outside these days is when they're with their parents. The ball fields, woods, and streets are kid-free the vast majority of the time unless the adults are hosting an event of some kind for them. When I was growing up there were kids running free from 9 to 9 most every day during the summer. Our parents had to call for us or go looking for us to get us to come home for lunch and/or dinner. The TV stations around here have been airing commercials for a few years, aimed at children, showing kids outdoors playing and telling them about all the fun they can have outside.

Agreed mate well said. I noticed this with my younger cousins, them and their mates are glued to their iPads and games consoles. They aren't even that much younger than me.

But they are still big enough to leave if they wanted too.
