May. 18th, 2011 07:54 pmLast night, my little brother was complaining about "KIDS THESE DAYS!".
He's not allowed to do that! He's a baby. (Note: He is in fact 19. Thus, a baby. :p)
That said... he does have a point. He's been helping out with a group of Beavers (youngest branch of Scouts, five to seven years old). He told them to dig through the mud and look for bugs and... they were all afraid to touch the mud. Five year olds. Afraid to touch mud. The only thing you can really say here is, well, KIDS THESE DAYS!
He was claiming that when he was five he would have dove right in. I told him that I remember when he was five. He wouldn't have waited for someone to tell him to do it. :p
KIDS THESE DAYS!
