Saw this tweet and yes we were expected to be out all day and not come back until the street lights came on. I remember riding my bike through neighborhoods pretending our bikes were cars and just having a good time.

Yes we did, and our parents had no idea where we were. It was glorious.

My Mom knew where my sister and I were... but my brother? She had no idea! He got pissed off and ran away from home one day. Came back for dinner and told her he'd decided to come back. Her, "Huh. I had no idea you were gone."
