Back when my grandparents were kids 👦 they used to have to walk to school in this 🎒 10 miles uphill both ways 🏫 barefoot in the snow 🦶 #401wx 🥶FrequentAnnual1262 t1_j6sy9be wrote
I was a kid in the 50's and walked to school every day. Mom was busy taking care of younger siblings. No school busses. In grammar school it was 2 miles round trip, in HS it was 4 miles round trip.
No big deal, we just did it... we weren't barefoot, we did wear galoshes in the snow & rain.
Later had a paper route and never missed a delivery.... it was what it was.

Through the park and by the tree
We will rest upon the ground
And look at all the bugs we found
Safely walk to school without a sound”
