There was a time when I was younger that the streets would be filled with teenagers playing.
- The people I was with and I would ride our bikes and play tag all day long until our parents called us for breakfast.
My Grandfather used to whistle very loud when it was time for us to come home, I can still hear her whistle in my mind. Those afternoons are long gone now and the streets are empty. I just guess of all of the teenagers sitting in their houses now staring at their screens. It’s so unhealthy for them but it seems too hard to stop. I am trying to get my kid interested in fixing a/cs for a living since she is so enjoyable with her hands. All she seems to want to do though is play on the laptop all day long. I showed him how our air cleaner works and how to substitute the HEPA filter in it but then she just went back to playing games on the laptop. It’s such an addiction that she will cry if I tell him she can’t play on the laptop for a few hours. I guess each week I’ll have him disinfect the air filters in our heating system and air conditioner to be able to use the laptop for a couple of hours. There needs to be some kind of chores each week for him or she will just stare at the laptop all day long like a zombie. I guess if she became an air conditioner workman she would find some pleasure in it.
