Latchkey kid during the school week and locked out during the weekends and summer. Didn’t they release a PSA about do you know where your kids are?

We always used to argue whether that meant the very first street light, or all of them.

I had to be home by then. Only because I didn't have lights on my bike

My mom would just stand outside and ring a bell when she needed me. She knew I’d probably be within a 3 block radius.
