Running Feral

I plan to live next woods of a moderate size. Maybe one with secrets and rusty old bits and treasure and maybe a couple of bodies. Into these woods, I will release My Future Kids to be raised by woodland creatures and learn the meaning of love and friendship.

I will have a tree house and when I'm not using it, I will allow My Future Kids to enter it. Sometimes, I will tell them that they are not allowed back into the house and they will just have to fend for themselves until they've learned some sort of lesson or my ire has lessened or something. At this point I will hand them a couple of peanut butter sandwiches, an outdoor survival guide, and point to the woods. During the summer months, I simply will not allow them inside for a certain portion of every day.

I don't really know what all this outside time will teach them, but I think that's okay. Hopefully, they will be feral enough to get the most out of running wild in the woods but disciplined enough to not die and also do what they're told.
