Kids are in a hurry now.I don't know about some of you, but have you not observed a slight proliferation of teens (I'm talking 13-16 range here) and pre-teens (aka tweenagers) consuming caffeine based drinks? A teacher and a spa owner were telling me that kids as young as 15 are also getting Brazilian waxes - whatever that is. Coffee, Brazilian waxes, skanky clothing...gosh I feel so naive.
As if things are not bad in our classrooms, students waltzing in with text messaging devices, sunglasses to big for their heads, flip flop sandals and plastic Tim Horton ice cappuccino's (I doubt they are buying decaf) are the last thing educators need. I can just imagine Lil' Jane and Timmy, who already suffer from a wide variety of ailments on the autism disorder spectrum, at the chalkboard trying to solve a math problem jacked on espresso.
At least I was naturally high-strung. I didn't have my first espresso until I was 18 when I went to Italy.
Kids want to be treated like adults but without the experience or wisdom.
Hey, we have conspiracy theorists masking as historians and political pundits on TV (while pretending they know the truth but are being censored) living a lucrative lie so should we be surprised by kids daylighting on their lunchbreaks as grown ups?
Are parents paying attention?
And here I am wanting to be a kid forever.
Sorry about the absence. Since you stopped by Reshaping Narrow Law & Art, I've been occupied with our new baby son.

However, I ought to warn you that a Brazilian wax is a process for removing pubic hair on women. The distinguishing feature is that it leaves a small streak of fuzz down the middle.
WHY?
Because the object of a BW is to wear types of super-revealing swimwear. For example, one type of bikini involved a composite bow tie-shaped bottom, which is molded by the wearer to conform to the shape of her crotch. This allows her to wear an outfit with no waist straps. Additional moldables cling to the breasts, so no neck and side straps remain in the top. At this point, the public decency motivations of any swimwear at all are now academic.
It reminds me of King Lear rebuking his daughter, thus:
....Thou art a lady;
If only to go warm were gorgeous,
Why, nature needs not what thou gorgeous wear'st,
Which scarcely keeps thee warm.
Or, in this case, shielded from Acteon's eyes.
Yes, my wife explained it to me. Apparently it's also painful. Nonetheless, she was tempted to get one while we were in NYC.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Health and happiness.
Thanks for the coordinates.
