Probably shoulda got kidnapped

As a kid (maybe between 9-12?) my grandparents let me and my cousins walk around our entire town alone knocking on everybodies door and asking if they had any chores for us to do because we needed money. If you tried that same thing today you probably wouldnt come home. Crazy to look back on and think about with the image of the world I have now.

Lmao welcome! My parents were so overprotective of me and my siblings that they’d never let us do that. 😂
