And in my childhood we had the problem that there were only two telephones in the entire village. One in the mayor's office and one in the post office. That was normal in the former GDR. So we kids played outside with our friends.

We grew up with our own phones. So tell me, what are friends?
 
I just had to share a conversation that I just had with my daughter. She's really discovering gender, and playing with the ideas of transgenderism and androgyny. For years, we've had this ongoing banter, where she would start a conversation with "Father:", and I would respond with "Daughter:" Lately, I've been responding with "Child". But today, I asked.
Me: How would you actually prefer me to respond?
Her: "Daughter" works, I guess. But "child" is better. Or "progeny".
Me: Prodigy?! Cool! I AM A FIRESTARTER!
Her: Dad! What is WRONG with you?

One day you’ll be able to say “I’M A FIRESTARTER” and she’ll shout back “TWISTED FIRESTARTER!”.. kind of like when I shout “ BABY BUNNY!” at my niece, and she shouts back “HOP HOP A DOOPETY-BOO!” :p

other children from the neighborhood, with whom we built huts in the forest, or dammed streams. Ridden around by bike or held skis or snowball fights in winter. At that time none of us had a smartphone or a computer.

And we went to places, our parents had forbidden us to go, and did other things I would myself have forbidden my kids to do. But they just went nowhere!
 
Try handing a 12 year old a saw or an ax today. I'm not sure they even know what these tools are for. And I've never heard of a saw or an ax app.

However, a saw or an ax can be very useful with certain recalcitrant electronics.

A couple of years ago, we took a trip, and stopped at an extinct volcano in New Mexico. At some point, she climbed onto the lower branches of a tree, to get a better look across the chasm. I couldn't help myself, and asked "What do your elf eyes see?" She responded properly with "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard!" I swear, from somewhere further down the trail, we heard two other people yell back "To Isengard!" "To Isengard!"
