Well.. first, the video is not working... playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner... so i listen it in youtube ;-)
Nice said the story.
I know the mood you lived because we are in same country. So lot of general things i recognize well and smiled when remembered.
Also, we all grow and get old. The united families are the best ones and this things help everybody, especially kids. To grow well and healthy minded with a good life examples.
Lot of parents say today that it is imperial to stay all day with the kids... but they are not near them, except just physically... not in the way you described there.
Eh,... we also live another world so things are changed, also the expectations. I have a saying today, it is better to be 1h / day with your kid and be only with him and with thoughts and games than be 24h and not paying attention to his small big discoveries and pleasures.
The world is more cynical these days and kids are not always so attached to parents. But, working as a sport photographer in last 8 years i saw that there are ways to get them in the real world again with making a sport and being among other real people.
This ones have a plus among the ones who stay only on pc and other gadgets. They will know both worlds and will have more knowledge than others.
But, it is what it is.
Let's hope that lot of kids today will have and also will say later on stories like the one you said here ;-)
Cheers
Thank for your insights @ilvstranger! Yes! Sport was an important activity back then - the gadget world was just emerging, so not many had them, so we played football almost every day during middle school, besides other games, that we now refer to as "childhood games". I have a few stories from that time too. Stay tuned :D
Yup, good memories and love that i lived them.
Cheers
