Out of the Mouths of Babes...

04/24/2010

Jared is eleven-years old.  Jared is a beautiful boy and may well one day be a real ladies man, a really handsome kid.  He has a killer smile and a mouth that won’t quit.

Here’s the scene:  His mother is sitting in a recliner watching a movie with John Cusak and Billy Crystal.  Cusak is climbing a wall and falls on a cactus.  He stands up in obvious pain with a bunch of cactus needles stuck in his crotch.  As he bends over to extract them the view from the camera is at his back.  Got it?

Jared is seated in a chair across the room from his mother.  Jared is also watching this movie.  Jared chuckles at the scene aforesaid described.  In his own inimitable, 11-year old, middle school vernacular blurts out “Looks like he is jacking off.”

Hmmm?  Had I said anything like that near my mother, if had I even known anything about it at age eleven, a trip to the emergency room probably would have been my next stop in an attempt to control the massive bleeding from my very sore posterior.

It’s a different world we live in these days.  There are no secrets anymore.  Nothing is held back.  Decorum is out; political correctness may be dying as well.  All I can say is “what the fuck is up with that?” Where do these kids come up with the shit?  Who the hell teaches these little ingrate bastards how to conduct themselves?  I just scratch have my balls and wonder?

And that is all I have to say about that…
