He was allowed to play Top Secret and Gamma World, just not D&D.<br /><br />It never ceases to amaze me that parents were getting worked up over their kids staying in and essentially engaging in a combination of literature and math.

The whole panic made me laugh back then, because it was ridiculous. Nerds sitting around on Saturday or Sunday afternoons eating snacks and drinking too much soda.<br /><br />We were as you described, good kids. Very smart, band geeks, choir, audio visual club. Good homes, strong ethics. All successful now. And not because we are benefiting from a 'Pact.' Forget that some of the best singers in school (and I mean became professional including opera) were drinking and snorting cocaine. That was totally swept under the outback then.<br /><br />My mom only asked me directly once about what we did and never harmed on it. But she watched like the good parent she was. Never interfered or took away from it.<br /><br />Of course, she is unhappy that I recently got (a rather large) tattoo. Still my mom.ShadowStalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16480113888784081027noreply@blogger.com
