Things you didn't understand why as a child/when you were younger but now do.......

When I was a child, I saw a movie trailer that had a child in it that was rated "R". I said, "Why is it rated "R" if it has a child in it?:crazy:

I watched the Parent Hood and in one episode, Cece sings "Meet The Flinstones" theme song, and Cece stopped sionging when everyone joined in. her dad said, "Cece, why aren't you singing? This is your favorite song." She either replied,. "Yeah, but now EVERYONE is singing it, "It was, but now EVERYONE is singing it, or "It was before EVERYONE started singing it." I was like, "Isn't that a GOOD thing?:confused: I did not know back then that conformity was not a very good thing.:crazy: Back then, I was like, "Shouldn't she be HAPPY that everyoneis singing the song that she is singing? I did not know to much abvout individuality and the concept of it........:crazy:

one time when i was yonger, i walked in on my granny and paper fighting and the minute I walked in my granny ran up to me, hugged me, and said "no no, you know I want you here anytime!" I was only like 8, and I was like "what...? grannya's gone crazy", but looking back I now realize that my Papa must have said something to the effect that my aprents drop us off there way too much and he was sick of it. I didn't get it then, but lokoing back now I do.

Sooooooooooooooooo many things. I was SUCH a gullible child (and often as a teen, also). I was basically brought up to be stupid until I graduated high school and had to "teach myself" and "learn" about life myself by being part of our society. Anyway, too much to say....
