“For instance, when kids come home from school, they feel like they have nothing to do. If you don’t give them high tech games to play with, they’re bored. What ever happened to playing a good old game of Monopoly? Checkers?”
I have different questions, I wonder what ever happened to studying, what ever happened to helping around in the house, whatever happened to doing chesed to neighbours and to visiting the retirement home and the hospital (if legal adult, the prison too) and to taking care of younger siblings, and if still boredom is present, going out and actually earning money with our work. I also wonder what ever happened to parenting and responsibility, however, I do wonder most of all what ever happened to checking people before we welcome them.
