To me, the tone was more wistful about how we didn't obsess about the dangers in our lives as much as we might now. - Though my grandparents were sure I'd be kidnapped, raped and murdered anytime I left their house without an adult or mob of children around me.

I enjoy laughing at myself as I think about 'back when I was a kid...'. I know my elders thought much the same about my generation as I do the most recent. I would have preferred to have been part of my grandparents era in many (but not all) ways.
