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.”
