"Come in when the street lights come on"

LOL, Flashback! I just said this to my DD's as they went out to play after supper.

My mom would say that too. My girls will never hear it from me because they are limited to our backyard or or next door neighbors backyard (we are building a fence outside our individual fences between our houses so they can go back & forth w/out going outside a fence). Sounds paranoid but given what just happened in our area (Jessica Ridgeway) I no longer feel like I care if people think it's overly protective.

Wow, total flashback, that was my rule as a kid growing up too! Too bad I would never be able to give that rule to my daughter nowadays.
