In search of Christmas kids

Cruised around the neighborhood, looking for the old days. Used to be Christmas morning would bring out all the kids with their new bikes and wagons and scooters, footballs and uniforms, party dresses, bows and arrows, cowboy outfits. Not a kid to be found anywhere, though of course we live in one of those recent anti-social suburban neighborhoods filled with trees and large lots but without sidewalks, so no one takes an evening stroll to meet the neighbors. Are there kids here? Who the hell knows? We've only lived here 11 years ha ha and have seen precious few.

Well, no doubt the kids are in their bedrooms playing with their new computer games. Yes, that's where they are.
