They're so tiny!

After my workout today, I went home to feed clean up after Mr. Woodstock (he's still getting the hang of this potty training thing, it's getting difficult since he almost was perfect at it earlier this week). On the way back to work, I drove by two schools in the one mile it takes me to get home. And both were letting out for the afternoon.

I couldn't help but think how tiny they all looked! I swear, the middle schoolers here look like six or seven year olds! Not sixth or seventh graders. And high school students, don't get me started on how young new drivers look.

I couldn't help but think how awesome it would be to go home at 2:15 every day. Bring a bagged lunch to class, hang out with your best friends and worry about nothing at all. Well, except how much you hate Mr. X and that "yard" lady who always yells at you.

But then I realized something. Middle school - well mine at least - was the point in which girls started calling each other bitches and sluts, boys start making sexual jokes and began using marijuana.

Which BLOWS my mind! How do people that tiny get into that mentality?!?! I realize I was slow in my maturation process (first drink and first kiss in college), but seriously?!?!?!

It's so weird to think about that when you frame it into such a perspective.
