“You kids go outside and play….”


A prime memory of my childhood is hearing my mother say, to my brother and me, “You kids go outside and play!”

‘Course, “outside” was a nice place, we had a big yard and fields and woods to play in….



Kids living in 19th century tenements in New York had a different perspective on “outside”….

….and for many of them, “play” probably meant “what you do when you’re not working.”
