My parents operated on the scarcity values of their youths though so when it was sunny, you couldn't waste the day. ... Many a summer day was spent trying to find a place to hide from my parents so I could finish a book.
I never thought of it as a "scarcity" thing. Hm. My mom and dad used to punish me by taking away reading privileges ... and one of the fairly common infractions that caused this particular punishment was "sitting outside reading after having explicitly being told to go *play.*"

Scarcity gives it a different perspective.
