| Sumari: | A playdate is an organized meeting where parents come together with their children at a public or private location to interact socially or 'play'. Children no longer simply 'go out and play', rather, play is arranged, scheduled, and parentally-approved and supervised. How do these playdates happen? Who gets asked and who doesn't?
