NO KIDDING! Pay attention next Christmas morning. I used to go outside and see all of the neighborhood kids riding NEW bikes, NEW skateboards, playing with new street hockey gear, etc...I don't see that these days. I play a lot of Xbox myself, but if the sun is out and I'm off work, good luck keeping me inside!

I swear, we're going to raise a generation of hypochondriacs. I mean, isn't the point of being a kid to go outside and hurt yourself with your friends/siblings so you know not to do it again?
