I was recently in the grocery store line and watched, with the gentleman in front of me, as a young child ahead of us became frustrated with his mother\u2019s cell phone.\u00a0 He scowled as he pushed a flurry of buttons on the device.<\/p>\n

His mother asked him what was wrong, and he cried\u00a0that the game wouldn\u2019t work, with a little stomp of\u00a0his feet.<\/p>\n

The gentleman shook his head.\u00a0 Once the boy and his mother were out of earshot, he turned to me and commented, \u201cWhen I was a kid, my mother would throw a big cardboard box outside and tell us to go out and play.\u00a0 We would play for hours with that box\u2026.and boy was it fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
