The informed kid

Day before yesterday, while visiting a nearby pharmacy I had a stint at the degree of information (I am skeptical to call it knowledge) kids possess these days.    

 I was standing at the counter and getting the medicines billed when a kid accompanied by his dad (yes, the order mentioned is intentional because that’s what it seemed like) was endorsing a strawberry flavored liquid mouth wash to his dad. “They have flavors in that too!!!?” asked the surprised dad. The kid smiled sheepishly, winked and pointed at the packets of flavored condoms placed there and coolly replied “They have flavors in everything”.

You  should have seen the embarrassed look on his father’s face. It’s ok uncle, we know you didn’t teach him this  or the “what to use when doing IT”.

Surprisingly alarmed? Yes, I was. He was normal.

I guess children (not sure if we should call them children) are over formed or is it that the internet, media, school curriculum gives them enough exposure to be this. They know something fishy goes in between making a baby. They know it’s cool to profess knowledge and expertise about condoms, dildos, sanitary napkins. They ought to know the sizes of the assets designed by God.

My, five year old  niece sighs every February, over the fact that she doesn’t have a valentine to gift her flowers unlike how her dada gifts flowers to her mom. And we thought we should set examples of happy ,loving families to kids to make them better humans.

An eight year old was found sleeping for hours during school hours, the reason of which was later found to be Vodka in his water bottle where you and me carried orange juice at the max. Outdated is the word they use!

During my early college days I heard a bunch of 13-14 odd years old bunch discussing SEX.Oh! they lag behind, we have a set of unwed 13 year old parent from UK.

The informed brass they are!!!!!!!!
