Got something on your mind, talk about anything!
Kids and Addresses!

On occasion, I get a chance to talk to some of the kids in my area, and some of the things they tell me do not bode well for their safety. I ask them where they live, and they say, "Over There", or, "In the brown house", or ,"down that way". They don't seem to know their street names or their house numbers. Today's parents seem to be worried about kidnappers and perverts, but do not seem to be taking the time to teach their kids their addresses and phone numbers- information that would help the police to return them to their houses! Parents, wake up. Teach your kids to memorize their house numbers, streets, and phone numbers, so that in the event of the worst, they'll at least be able to tell the cops where they live- and where you are! This was something that our parents taught us almost immediately, back in the days. They made sure that we knew where we lived- and we could tell somebody if we ever got lost!
