> kids don't go outside anymore and they have their head permanently glued to a smartphone. just the other day, i was sitting on my front porch enjoying a cigarette and suddenly heard screaming. it sounded like someone being murdered. i then noticed it sounded like kids screaming and it dawned on me what i was actually hearing was the sounds of kids playing. it was really surreal that the first thought i had hearing kids playing was that someone was being murdered. then i started trying to remember the last time that i had actually seen kids, in a group, just hanging out and playing. i honestly can't recall when that was. then, i realized that one day long ago that i went out with my friends to play for the very last time in my life and didn't even know it.
