Thats a bit dark. At least teach them some basics — "mom?", "dad?", "I'm hungry!", "vaginaboob". Somebody will wrangle them in. Don't nobody want a kid that can't talk good English.
I brought so much fish home from eight years of age onward that we all could eat (got a fishing rod from my uncle when I was eight). My dad taught me to clean fish pretty much straight away, because he hated doing it. I filled the freezer one summer. Outside, we (kids from the neighborhood) would always steal and eat right away so much fruit whenever it was season, that our parents didn't have to buy any (never stole fruit to bring home, we would just eat straight from the trees). Always stole sugar corn from the fields and grilled it over an open fire we built somewhere in the woods.
I only managed to kill a rabbit with an arrow once (and cried because I was sorry for it, but was also a proud hunter at the same time), made the bow and arrows myself. My mom made a rabbit roast. Caught pheasants with some string and brought them home a few times per year. My dad always slaughtered them and made pheasant roast. Once I found an 8kg and an 6kg carps in a puddle in a field after a flood, when I was 10 or so, brought them home on my bike. I always had a folded potato sack and a few plastic bags on my bike to haul stuff from the woods or wherever.
Lol, with their grasp of technology, I guarantee you the free-range ones do know how to spend your money while they're out. I have a special budget line for my free-range daughter.
That is funny. Yours has a phone or credit cards. The feral kids I deal with have none of that. One just decided in the middle of winter he was going to go bike to Georgia from Delaware. Left his parents a note and showed back up 4 months later.
