So I had all the boys at the park today with a good friend of mine, Meggan and her daughter, Margret. We had just come from lunch and bought some popsicles that we were happily eating. We were the only people there except for 3 boys - maybe around 9 years old. They were playing Hide and Seek around the equipment and trees. Meggan and I were talking about playing outside when we were younger and what a blast that was. We were saying that we had thought times had changed and kids didn't play outside anymore. We were saying how refreshing it was to be proven wrong and that times had not change at all!
Then...I heard something...a cell phone...but who? Who would have a cell phone at the park?
Then I heard a 9 year old voice: "Where are you you punk?! This is stupid. Where is Chris? Oh! Thanks!" and off he runs and finds Chris!
9 YEAR OLDS PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK ON CELL PHONES!!!!
I am sad to report to you my friends - times have changed.

They have! Once, Devin and I were watching Home Alone with Melanie. (A movie that was made during our lifetime.) She asked us, "Why didn't he just call his mom's cell phone?" They don't remember life without them!
