Remember being a kid? When you spent your summers playing in the hose, riding your bikes through the woods and eating ice cream cones on the front porch? The picture below is of a friends little girl playing in the neighbors sprinkler. Too many times now days, I see parents freaking out when their kids get a little dirty. Man, back in the days the dirter the better. We rode our bikes through the puddles left by a passing rain storm. You would be covered in mud, ride home, mom would come out, smile and make you change clothes. There was no yelling or getting into trouble.
I say let kids be kids. It won't be very long before they have to worry about bills, work and all the things that parents have to worry about. Have fun, go play in the sprinkler, catch a lighting bug and chill out.

Kids don't even want to get outside any more. They are too absorbed by the television, Gameboy, Playstation, etc. Or chatting on the computer with friends who are NEXT DOOR.
Too bad they don't realize what they're missing. My Mom used to just say "go outside and stay there until dinnertime." It was my pleasure!
