Yes, indeed, edgar. I called it "sweet & innocent" for a different reason: My god, they were actually
thinking of how they they might entertain
themselves! They were actually
allowed to use their
initiative for good or otherwise! (Rather than mom driving them to endless ballet lessons, swimming classes, hockey training, catch-up maths tutoring, whatever .... It seemed so
quaint, almost, kids figuring out what they might & might not do with their time. So creative. So unusual, these days, that
freedom to be
allowed to decide! It made me feel nostalgic, that's what. That's what I was responding to.
