1. I read the "Balloons" part as little kids filling in a prompt for school. Like, "My name is _______. I go to _________. I like __________. etc." Plus, it's supposed to be recollections from a 25(?) year old trying to remember what it was like to be five. As for the running around with no supervision, both boys' parents worked a lot. The kids did the dangerous stuff when adults weren't watching.

2. That confused me too. Maybe the trees weren't cut down yet?
