Influenced by cartoons
I'm really surprised us children of the 70's and 80's are alive.

They grow up far too soon
Wait until they come home soaked to the waist after being dared to do a back flip off a wall into the brook at the bottom of the park or they've had to jump into the canal to rescue a football that 'blew away'.... yeah, that!
