Not all, but most don't seem to have adventures. When I was a kid I'd go off into the woods and build a den or climb a tree, we once spent a whole week trying to dam a stream, god knows why. None of my friends kids go anywhere by themselves, a lot of them do 'forest school' where they'll be taken by adults to a sanitised woodland and taught how to build a teepee with pre cut wood, and it's just not the same thing.

Haha, yes. "What are you doing here?" the parents ask of the child in their own house where they live.

sometimes it was, "don't knock on the bedroom door unless the house is afire"
