Today's kids would call 911 and claim child abuse if you told them to play outside and just take a drink from the garden hose if they got thirsty.

We were like a wandering gang of garden hose suckin werewolves when I was a kid.

While we also did this as kids, we drank more often from the creek. You know . . . dam up the creek to make a swimming hole, slurp down a little bit of crick water, torment the local water snakes and snapping turtles. Loads of fun.

And despite not having an internet connection, a cellphone, a wristwatch or even a sun dial, we managed to keep track of things, get along, deal with problems and be home in time for dinner.
