It came as a shock to me when my 9 year old cousin and his friends found a song with profanity 'funny'. Aren't they too young to even know what these words mean. I had no idea about curse words when I was that young, it took me couple more years, and I was not a goody goody kid either.
But my cousin is not the only person who is not acting their age. Teenagers are so worried about their love life and relationship status that they change it at least once a month on Facebook. I can say this because I am not a teenager anymore. But really I haven't changed my single status from past few years, only because I am too paranoid to be in a relationship.
Alarms in my head rang when my friends got involved in a live-in relationship and my sister got married. This can't be, everyone is with someone and I am on my way to afterlife alone with no one but 7 cats surrounding my deathbed. Next thing I know I am watching Sex and the City in my room with a tub of ice-cream.
I am kind of like my 9 year old cousin. If he can understand the meaning of those swearwords then I can too watch woman twice my age moan about men and botched botox.
If Justin Beiber can sing songs about break-ups and Willow Smith can have the same stylist as Rihanna, maybe the relationship between age and sex is not what it used to be. Actually, drop the 'maybe'.
watching women twice your age moan about men and botched botox is a funny scene. everyone moves at a different speed. i am such a late bloomer. for those who can get past seeing age in anyone (and it's a major challenge for me as much as anyone), the world sure brightens. it's an experience we've all had, seeing the kid in an older person, or seeing wisdom beyond a young person's age.
ReplyDeletethat is true Ed...time they say moves different for everyone...and also the past present and future moves together..so i guess age is irrelevant from that perspective.
