Life before cell phones was so simple

"Wait, isn't that Tommy's bike? He said he had to stay home today, what's he doing over there?! Why I'm going to... Oops, that's not his bike..." -youngest brother as I drove him home from school

I really miss that

The first and only time that I was allowed to ride my bike to my friend's house (I lived on a dangerous secluded road) I saw a dead raccoon in the street, closed my eyes, and steered into a swamp.
