Summers sure fly by fast and the jet age. Kids are so much luckier 100 years ago, when things moved at a slower pace. You mean back when they worked 15 hours a day under appalling conditions until child labor laws were passed? Picking up after yourself doesn't seem so bad now, does it?

The choice wasn’t working 15 hours a day versus going to school, playing in the meadows, or lazing under an apple tree.The choice was working 15 hours a day or starving. Child labor laws, like many others, only became possible after the country had become prosperous enough to afford to let the children go to school, play in the meadows, or laze under an apple tree.
