Childhood games

My name‿ is Mia. When‿ I was‿ a child,│ I played‿ outside from morning to night. We did not have tablets‿ or phones,│ an(d) we did not miss them.

We used to^usta play hide‿ an(d) seek‿ in the park‿ an(d) skip with‿ a rope. In winter^win-der,│ we played‿ in the street with‿ a ball,│ an(d) my mother shouted from the window│ when‿ it was dark. Back then,│ a simple toy was‿ enough for‿ a whole‿ afternoon.

Nowadays,│ children play games‿ on tablets│ an(d) watch cartoons‿ on the internet. It‿ is different,│ but I^{bud I} think they are missing something. My nephew is seven,│ and‿ I taught (h)im hide‿ an(d) seek las(t) week. He loved‿ it!
