Great memories.
can we take him back..
It sounds like bonding over cartoons softened you up. We grew up at the lower end of the scale (free school lunches and all), but traveling the world has also opened my eyes to how good we had/have it. I also remember walking everywhere as a kid. Distances didn't seem the same to us. And if it was too far to realistically walk, we took the bus. For a dime, you could ride all day (as long as you asked for a transfer slip when you got off each time).
Haha, yeah it's ironic that the mega-violent cartoons softened us up! : ) I remember walking or biking everywhere too! It was nothing for us to travel 4-5 miles one way, especially when we were teenagers. We would walk miles to the record store.
