Everyone always says how kids today look so much younger than years ago. I do agree that for the most part it's true. A lot of girls look about 10 years older than they are. They dress older, wear more makeup and just seem to grow up too fast. Boys are 9 feet tall and built much more "healthy" than was I was young. I remember all the boys being lanky at that age. Rumor has it that it is the hormones in chicken these days making the boobies and facial hair grow at an early age. When I was younger , I must have been the only one to eat chicken with hormones in it. By the time we had our movie on a girl's menstrual cycle and how it works in grade school I had already had mine for like a year. Everyone giggled and was grossed out. I was bored and already over it.
The point is that this isn't always the case. I pulled into WaWa the other day. I had my mom with me and I waited in the car while she ran in. While I was waiting I noticed an SUV next to me with the music on. I looked over and saw this CHILD sitting in the driver's seat. He didn't look older that 12. It was ridiculous. So naturally I was staring like WTF?? I couldn't take my eyes off of him because I couldn't figure out if he was driving and just looked stupid young or if he hopped in the seat when his mommy went inside. Every once in awhile he looked over (because I was eye stalking him) and I would look away real quick. Then I saw it. He was smoking a cigarette. It looked every kind of wrong. He was holding it like it was a joint because he was cool like that. I just stared at him for what seemed like an hour before my mom came out. All the while knowing that I HATE when people stare at other people. It's one thing to glance but it's just rude to stare. I had no control over my eye stalking.
Then he drove away. There is either a child somewhere out there smoking and driving around in a silver SUV or there is a teenage boy out there that needs to start eating chicken.
