What the FUCK were they thinking?

So, went to the water park yesterday.  There are things I just don't get.  One of those is this seeming need society has to sexualize young children.  tiny bikinis on young girls.... WTF is up with that?  But the worst one was this kid about seven or eight.  She not only had on one of those bikinis, but wore a shirt over it that proclaimed: "YEAH, I know you want this" in bright pink.  What the hell are the parents thinking?  And no, this is not about child predators or any of that shit, because pedophiles do not need or wait for invitation, but what kind of self worth are you generating your daughter?  That she is valuable so long as people think she is attractive.  Ugh, I'm so glad I'll never be a parent.  My kid would so hate me.

Anyway, about 2 hours in it started thundering and lightening, so we went to the movies.  The Dark Knight Rises.  Theatre was packed, even though it was a matinee.  C and I managed to find seats together, but Jake was a couple rows up, and Mark was way on the other side of the Theatre.  The movie was meh.  Hardly worth jamming ourselves into the theatre.  Bane was horrible, his voice annoyed the shit out of me.  It was hardly a villainous voice at all.  Though, I gotta admit, I would like them to have a go at Robin.
Hells, I would like to have a go at Robin;)  Damn, he sure grew up fine.

Anyway, long weekend here.  So how am I spending it?

With twenty-four little friends, because THANK FUCK some LCBOs ARE open today.

Happy Civic Holiday, when a holiday has no purpose, it becomes a drinking holiday:)

  1. Regarding bikinis on little girls; I have to say that I am 100 percent with you on this one Jamie. I have two teen daughters and they were never allowed to dress like that nor do so today. It's these same dumb ass irresponsible parents that complain about sexual promiscuity in young girls that are the ones that set them on that path at such an early age. They need to understand that it's not appropriate and it's not cute either.

    1. So NOT cute. It's awkward for other people, who realize how inappropriate it is.

  2. Jamie, you've took the words right out of my mouth. Just in my flats the other day, one primary school girl was overheard saying to the other - that when she adjusted her belt in a particular way it made her look sexy. Whatever happened to childhood.

    Those are the parents that really need to take 'parenting classes', and are the first to complain should anyone say something inappropriate to their child.

    1. God, I cannot imagine a kid that age worried about looking "sexy". Have the parents not taught her what wonderful things she has to offer other than looks?

  3. I agree with you about how parents allow or encourage their children to dress sexually provocative. That is beyond me.

  5. Re: Promoting sexualization of kids, I agree. I don't know what in the world people are thinkin'? Drives me bonkers!

    P.S. Your 24 friends look nice. Maybe I should try to meet some new friends. ;-P
