Is there a better time in life than summer when you’re a kid? School’s out and you’re too young to have to worry about working, so it’s like an endless season of leisure and pleasure ahead of you. You can wake up at noon, then maybe you go out for a walk, you hang out with your buddies, you enjoy the weather, you might go…
