Jeez...assuming this is a true story and not embellished..
Early 90's. Latchkey kid. Come home from school to our Acreage out of town. Get on bike and ride to the nearest corner-store, which was a highway rest-stop a couple of kilometres away. I'd have to (SHOCK) cross the highway AND a railroad track of all things to get there!
My god why weren't my parents imprisoned!!!!
Do I need to add the /s tag, or is it clear enough?
I was a latchkey kid starting at 8 years old. It was awesome, I could eat cereal and watch old episodes of Batman and Gilligan's Island
