At the beach today, I sat on the pier and listened to the talk of some younger children, who were anywhere from eight to twelve years old. There was a red-haired boy and three girls, and his mouth was rarely, if ever, closed. Two of the girls had gone into the water, and I began to stretch my legs, to partially explain my lingering presence on the

That is so funny! Its amazing when people so young can seem to know so much more than you would have thought...
maybe after a certain age, we all begin to think this, but don't children seem to act much older than they use to?

Thanks for sharing that story. :)

Sometimes I think that, and then I feel bad, because I never felt like I thought like a kid when I was a kid. Or maybe I did. But I can't discount children - I've read too much about G&T kids to think otherwise.

You're welcome.

I don't think I know that group of kids, but now I'll be on the lookout to catch if there are more installments.

Please do. They were cute.

Also depressing.

When I see little children having some sort of "love" interest, it always disturbs me a little bit... just because kids can't POSSIBLY have an interest like that in the opposite sex (.. or the same...).

And then I think way back... back to pre-school and I clearly remember having such a huge crush on this other little boy in my class. XD I'd try to sit near him and that sort of thing, and I also remember him being quite mean to me. He even went so far as to pinch me once when I was sitting near him! Guess I had cooties or something. :( Haha.

I never had any problem with girls, in that I never thought they had "cooties," though I believe I learned how to give myself a cootie shot at some point - hey, you can never be too careful with vaccinations. Back in preschool, I often hung out with the girls, since they were quieter, didn't land me in timeout so often, and liked to play interesting games, like "let's explore our sexuality!"

I can remember well the string of gals I liked beginning around then. Also Victoria's Secret catalogs, which were greaaaaaat.
