Pointless notes and 11-years-old wisdom. After organization meeting at school before the start of a school year and after meeting all the classmates:
Kid: Goood, half of the girls are talking about dating and how they got boyfriends during the summer.
Me: uhm, yeah… and your point?
Kid: I mean, we are 11-12 years. What do you even consider “dating” at our age? It is not really different from being friends. Why do they feel the need to seem cooler than they are and get into this ‘dating’ stuff? Is it impossible just being friends and enjoy the communication? And besides, we are kids, we are getting older, we are changing, so this kind of relationship is bound to end, so what’s the point to start something that will end?
Me: wow, you just got from “sensible/cynical” to “really depressing” in 5 seconds
