I’m a young 20 year old gal, I am smack dab in the middle of the technological boom that has hit this modern day world. Yet, here I find my little sisters calling me old fashioned.
Odd isn’t it?
Perhaps I'm getting a little fuddely in my old age, what with my trick knee and what not. Honest, I do have a trick knee, at my age. I blame that pesky little white tip spider that bit me on the ankle all those years ago. They say the effects of its toxins can remain for years, every so often my leg would literally ‘spazz’ or do a little kick. It gets frustrating when I am walking down the street.
I must say It would look odd to bystanders, a youn girl, normal (apparently) then all of a sudden BAM she’s doing the hokey Pokey in the middle of a cross walk.
Anyway, enough about that, perhaps I am getting a little old fashioned. Call me what you will but when I see little seven year olds, my golly gosh even four year olds running around with some $500 Ipods and Iphones I can’t help but wonder why, and what on earth their parents are thinking. As a child, I believe one does not need technology to entertain themselves, they got the outdoors and their imaginations.
I stroll past kindergartens, and what do I see? A group of kids, eyes illuminated by the dim glow of a portable DVD player.
Why, back in my day, kids were running around climbing trees screaming ‘Moon Prism Power’ as we all pretended to be Sailor Scouts, ah I remember how people used to fight over who was going to be Sailor Moon, and how I demanded my mum style my hair just like she had. The two little meatball like protrusions from her head.
What happened to the days where we used to zoom around pretending to be captain planet? With his masculine features and shockingly green mullet, tight red spandex and washboard abs, who wouldn’t want to pretend to be him?
Also…back in my day Kinder Suprises were fifty cents! AND HAD GOOD TOYS!
