I remember playing outside til whenever after dinner was over and my parents not worrying that either me or my siblings were going to be abducted by the local predator. that predator then was probably the neighborhood dog who was most likely killing the possums or chasing the skunks or whatever else moved at night. Catching fireflies in a mayo jar and then letting them go after about 30 minutes just to catch more. I grew up on a farm and we made our own games - standing out on the hot asphalt road in bare feet to see who stay on it the longest. Very little traffic so almost no auto interference. My kids hear that and know I'm crazy but we thought it was fun. Rotten tomato fights if too many ripened at once or after the first frost, then we had rotten green tomato fights.
