The children are outside playing.

conulyIt's ten PM. I do, in fact, know where the kids on this block are, and probably so do their parents. They're outside playing.
It's always been like this on this block, going back to when I was a kid. You can divide the homes neatly by those who are very okay with this and those who don't let their kids play out with the other kids hardly at all.
But that's not why I'm posting. I'm posting because we're approaching NYE. Some years, one house or another full of kids will burst out at midnight-ish and bang pots and pans, and some years they won't. It was us one year when we were kids, of course. We never know which house it'll be, or if it'll happen at all.
So I'm taking bets now! And by "bets" I mean "if you win or lose, you get to buy yourself a participation soda!"
