Nine years old. This is what my life looked like. Nothing fancy, just a shy, gangly kid whose fears might have included disappointing my dad, skinning my knee, or getting poison ivy in the woods behind my house. Watching our “leaders” mumble and shrug as nine-year-old kids are shredded by assault weapons is incomprehensible to me. They’re allowing a generation of American children to be traumatized for life. I am thankful every day to be old, born into a time when childhood was safe.
@cassandra17lina we only had the existential threat of nuclear war.
@CanisPundit yes, but that would have wiped out the whole family, not just the little kids.
@cassandra17lina true true and unfortunately too too true today.
@cassandra17lina At 9 we were much more likely to get hurt riding our bikes without helmets when we were turned loose in the summer and told to be home by the time the street lights came on.

My childhood was a fairytale compared to this era. 🤦🏻♀️
