    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
