Last 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!

I've seen my sister in law freak out when my nephews get dirty ... so I can easily believe this, unfortunately. :(

And yeah, there's a part of me that doesn't like dealing with the dirt and mud when my girls get into it--but I figure that's what baths and washing machines are for. :)

Dude, seriously, what? When I was five I would have LOVED it if an adult actually okayed me digging in the mud! (Ok, 19 isn't really adult - she says from the wise old age of 32 - but when you're five it counts.) Well, apart from weeding the garden. It doesn't count when it's a CHORE! :P
