I had the pleasure of going out on this wonderful day to do some survey pictures and measurements for a company from out of town. Everything went hunky-dory and as I was coming back to the shop, I passed through a school zone, right as all the kids are getting out. Kids, buses….. everywhere.
Anyway, there are two schools in this zone. One is kindergarten through 6th and the other is 7th grade though 9th grade. So, I imagine no one much over about 14 or 15 years old. Amazing how grownup kids look today. I saw one boy, looked to be about 11 with his arm wrapped around his girlfriend while he stuffed his tongue down her throat, while crossing at the walk in front of me and the crossing guard. Yuck-O.
Later up the street I saw kids smoking and carrying on and again the oldest looked to be about 12. Girls and boys alike….. smoking.
Further up the road, there was this group of kids with these two kids comparing tattoos. I mean, they had tats up and down their arms, down to the wrist and whatnot. Remember, I’m moving at a crawl because of the zone and all the kid activity and constant stopping to let kids cross.
Guess I’m just getting old. I have nothing against tattoos, but at 13 years old ?? That just sounds a little overboard. Oh, the other thing was….. I can’t believe how many colors of hair there are today. When I was in school there was blond, red, black, brown and colors in between. Good grief, I saw greens, not just one, but several shades of green on different heads, oranges of all values, reds, purples, black, white, two tone, three tone, quintuple tone, shaved, spiky, covering their faces, just on one side…….
What an eye opening experience… driving by a young kids school when they let out. I think I’m more afraid of them then they are of grown-ups. Hey little girl, wanna buy some candy……. ??
