I was doing the school round today and on the way back, the neighbours kid (who I also have the pleasure of transporting) says to my sister
"hey, lets shout at some boys!"
I smiled slyly at that, and thought nothing of it. Was I in for a surprise or what. Driving past and on seeing some boys their age they start shouting (with the windows down)
"Hey look at all you gay boys! GAY BOYS, GAY BOYS!"
I was in utter shock. These are two girls aged 9 and 10 are they are saying things like this, not just saying but they actually know the meanings of such words. I did give them a little telling off but nothing too severe, I mean what can you really say?
This brings me to another topic which riles me up really bad. Kids, they know it all these days and from such a young age too, like my little sister she knew it all from the age of 8 (and yes I'm talking about the S word). They even know the meanings of words such as gay and lesbian and know that its abnormal.
Is it me or are they missing out on childhood? I can't even remember anything about being 10 or 11 never-mind such sensitive topics and the only time I knew about the S word was at puberty and sex education. I was oblivious to everything around me till then. God bless sex-ed.
When my elder sister had her baby in February (there's so many things I've not blogged about, this is one of them) I was picking up my darling nephew and somehow came about the topic as to when she discovered the working of the birds and the bees. I was glad to hear it was around the same age as me (13 or 14) any sooner I think is too early and any later, well I won't say anything.
My aunt who was there at the time, and who is originally from Pakistan, told me she found out at the age of 18! And that, when she was working as a nurse, oh the irony. I found that impossible to believe but she reassured me that was the case, I remember her saying that in Pakistan some girls don't know anything at all until they are a lot older.
Anyway I've gone slightly off-topic, all I wanted to say is that kids nowadays know too much too soon and I don't think it's healthy.

I never thought I would say it, but I do that kids nowadays seem so much more smarter and know about things that I had no clue about when I was their age. I guess it's like this with every generation, but with the media and all it's even worse, kids know way too much. I know I was told about stuff around 10 but I remember I truely started believing it with 12 or 13, before that I thought people are fooling me. So, my brain wasn't ready for any such information before the age of 12, but at times I feel kids nowadays now way more than I do even now. That's when I give them the unknown-innocent-grown-up-look, where I feel I am 40. Sad!
hmm u are so right abt the kids these days coz i didnt know JACK till i were 14 and thats coz i needed to know wiout anyone tellin me owt coz fistly parents didnt mek a move and i didnt know how to ask :s and by 16 i knew everything!!! its nice bein naive. kids these days dnt know how to behave accordin to their age! i loved my childhood.. but u toseef were too borin and kept yaself to yaself all the bloomin time!! why eh..
hypocrisy, thy name is TOSEEF - and you know what i mean by that!!!
