I like little kids... because, they are little kids.
but nowadays, little kids on the outside doesn't mean little kids on the inside. kids, are behaving more and more like the modern adults.
evolution? revolution? genetic mutation?
more than 20 years ago, i already had the chance to meet a kid who... wasn't really a kid at heart. most adults, or to be more correct, grown ups, would tell his parents that he's so much like a "little adult" who's so distinct among his peers. it's wasn't a bad thing, netiher was it very good too, but he managed to survive through. till now, he is still my best friend and we often meet up in weird places like the bathroom, a quiet night, boring day, in our dreams and at the mirror.
imagine 20 years later. what kind of genes exists nowadays..
little children behaving like adults and grown ups behaving like kids. now my book of kokboon has got more classification.
i was at the 2005/2006 count down and sitting in front of me was a family which had a little girl maybe around 5 years of age and she was already like a princess throwing tantrums when her father corrected her for holding the party popper the wrong way. the fact is that it wasn't very smart of her to hold it at the top where the crepe would pop out, but she didn't listen.
another one i saw just today was kneeling on the seat just next to me whining to her mother. she looked like a 4 year old little girl. but she wasn't cute at all. because she already knew how to threaten her mother and be sacarstic. sacarsism, i thought that was something only adults know. she wanted to catch her aunt's house as the train is about to pass through, so she pestered her mother, asking which side was the house. poor mother said she forgot which side it was, but little girl wasn't convinced and said something like
"if you don't tell me, then i'll miss it and then i'll cry again you know?"
i was so shocked.
then mother started preaching, "you are a big girl now, how can you cry like a baby?"
just then, little girl saw the house and was happy. but mother carry on...
"cannot cry ok? must be good girl"
then little girl say... "aiyah... can3 la4 (die la).. i going deaf soon le la..., hor mama??"
mother preach again. girl repeats... "aiyah... tian ah... yao long le ar (going deaf soon...)" i was shocked again.
i was just thinking after that, a 4 year old child would know such things already then how can education even proceed? so should i keep my child from civilisation until he/she's 7, 8, 9 or 10? or does it mean a baby at 1 to 3 years of age would already understand all the big meaning of life and is prepared to recieve our teachings as parents?
there's little minds have gone real far and fast... grown ups, please catch up and duon't act like kids anymore - PLEASE.
