I enjoyed this thoroughly! Bryson writes about his childhood with ease, wit, humor, and a heavy dose of nostalgia. He paints a delightfully vivid picture of growing up in Des Moines in the 1950s, something I must admit I never thought I would enjoy reading about so very much. Bryson definitely has a few years on me, but this book definitely made me think back to my own childhood and compare it to how I see children growing up today. My partner at work and I were also very recently having a similar conversation, talking about the things we were allowed to do that kids today can't. I remember being gone for hours on end. My brother and I or my friends and I would bound gleefully out of the house after school or on weekends and have whatever adventures we could cook up. We would ride bikes, play in the woods, explore the nearby bayou or arroyo, or meet local kids for a game of street kickball (with big, sharp rocks as bases). As long as we were within earshot after the streetlights came on, we were okay. If our parents worried about us being gone for so long, we never knew. We rode bikes without helmets and sat on the handlebars, older kids had younger ones lay down in the street so they could be jumped over on skateboards. We built forts and dug huge, deep holes in backyards, forests, nearby parks. We swam in creeks or neighbor's pools in the summer and went sledding in winter, all without supervision. Wild blackberries, mint, onion and honeysuckle were for eating or chewing on, with never a thought to washing them off first. Like Bryson, my brother and I chased the truck that sprayed pesticide, breathing in huge lungfuls of who knows what. Girl Scouts and Brownies still sold cookies door-to-door, often without any parents along to keep an eye on things. Parents told you not to take apples or popcorn balls at Halloween, but never went though our bags of candy to check. The big neighborhood dogs were ideal for pulling us around the block insanely fast, as we sat on skateboards and held on to the dog's leash for dear life. My brother and I had computers (TRS-80 model) and video games (Coleco-vision) growing up, (some of the newest things on the market) but I remember spending way more time outside than sitting in front of any screen. It's definitely a different world today, but Bryson does an excellent job of reminding us of how it used to be.
