Yeah, kids probably have to grow up fast in Mexico. And they’re capable of doing so. We just baby our kids, but go back a hundred years and see how kids were. They were working their butts off, and in their free time probably allowed to roam far and wide by themselves. Even when I was six I got to play outside all day until the street lights came on, and my mom really didn’t know what we were doing. Times have changed here, but it’s probably like that still in Mexico.
