   We were all kids once! But depending on where you live in the world, this can be quite a different experience. In this episode 1, Harp 2 and Maura talk about the stuff 3 that Canadian kids have to do, like chores, and the stuff that kids mostly want do, like the activities their parents sign them up for. They also talk about their own Canadian childhoods 4 and reminisce about Saturday morning cartoons and playing hide-and-go-seek on their neighbourhood 5 streets.


  Maura:There’s also a kind of kid that we call latchkey kids.
  Harp:Yes. A latchkey kid is a kid who gets home earlier than his or her parents and they have to open the door themselves and usually make a snack for themselves and maybe start homework by themselves.
  Maura:So it’s a kid who comes home to an empty house and they have to have their own key because no one is there to let them in.
  Harp:Yeah, exactly. So that’s a latchkey kid.
  Maura:Were you a latchkey kid?
  Harp:No. When I was young, my grandparents lived with us, so they were always at home when we came home from school.
