Amen!
That's my biggest gripe about my little sister. I tell my Mother to make her get off the play station and make her go outside and play or walk the dog on the levee or go to her cousin's house around the corner. Anything other than sitting there. Thankfully my mother lives in a neighborhood on a dead end street where we can still send the kids out to play and not worry....but with the computer, tv, and play station they don't want to be outside.

I loved being outside with my firends. We climbed the neighbors tree, we roller skated(and not with those darn rollar blades...REAL roller skates!), we made a clubhouse in the old shed in the back yard, we went to the snowball stand by ourselves, we rode our bikes to the levee...pushed them up to the top..and had a blast flying down the levee on our bikes. If we fell, we slapped a bandaid on it and went back out to play.

As I sit behind the desk at work typing this, I realize how badly I want to go out and play now.
