ORIGINAL: homersimpson_esq On the bus home, and I overheard two children - a boy and a girl, I reckon siblings - who must have been 6 and 7, or younger.Anyway, they were having a laugh amongst themselves, in a "we're up to something" kind of way. The mother asked what was so funny, and, after much cajoling one of them said, between guffaws, that the jokes was about "bum sex". What in the BLUE FUCK is a 6 and 7 year old doing knowing about that? I mean, WHAT. THE FUCK. I didn't even know about sex at that age. I barely knew that girls existed as anything other than something weird and infectious. So what twisted, upside-down FUCKED UP world do these children live in that has got to them to stage where they not only know about buggery, but are at a point where they are joking about it, AT THE AGE OF SIX? Jesus H Fucking Christ. Where the fuck did childhood go? What happened to innocence, to enjoying a carefree existence? To being fucking children. No, sorry, fuck childhood, because you're going to learn all the stuff you have no need to know until you're older, right now. I don't want to live in this world any more. Also, isn't laughing mischeviously at rude stuff part and parcel of childhood? Yeah this just reminded me of when I was still in primary school and first started hearing 'grown up' words from other kids around me. I used to muck about with other kids in my street after school and they were all in the year or two below me. I'd hear certain words and pass it onto them.... Because, well, no particular reason really. One incident sticks out in my mind that as an adult I'm a bit ashamed of, because it was bullying really. I found out about a particular word and it's meaning and told a couple of the other girls, but we deliberated chose to not tell one of the girls the meaning behind it. Then we'd skip about singing it really loudly that this girl was this word and obviously she had no idea what it was. Pretty cruel and as an adult it makes me cringe. Not that it happened regularly, just that on that one afternoon, until our parents caught wind of it and we got a row. Rightfully. Similarly at lunch one day with the family of two of the girls I mucked about with, and their younger brother must have been about 6 or 7 at the most, and just as the waitress came over the to table this wee kid says to his sister, 'Laura, you're a penis.' That obviously set the girls off, and the mum's face was like thunder, unsurprisingly. I know that's not in the same bracket as 'bum sex' since it's obviously a standard word, and I'm not saying that we should all act casual about kids saying things they shouldn't, but you'd be surprised at how much they learn at school through older kids and older siblings.
