Oh, and there is this irony – all of this ridiculous coddling and fussing was started by the baby boomers. The same generation that consumed drugs by the bucketload in the ’60′s and snorted cocaine cut with Ajax in in the ’70′s turned into health nuts and safety Nazis as soon as they had kids. I see kids on bikes who are not only wearing helmets, but knee pads. Because God forbid that little Austin falls and *gasp* skins his knee.
Our benighted WWII generation parents let us get skinned knees, black eyes, and glass in the feet (because we ran around barefoot all summer). They permitted us to climb trees, built forts, and shoot bb guns.
They must have not loved us I guess.
