Last month, I was walking through the park and saw many families and friends enjoying the ease of a sunny afternoon. The picnic tables were scattered beneath the spreading arms of a stand of oak trees. Food was sizzling on the grills. There was laughter. Children ran rampant. I noticed one boy who was just slightly larger than the rest in his group getting a little rough with one of the other boys. Soon they were rolling on the grass in an all-out fight. An adult saw the conflict and broke them apart.

"We were just playing," the boys told her.
