Preteen Sex Symbols?
I went to a nearby mall for lunch. I had time to kill, so I walked around the mall for a bit before heading back to work. While there I saw dozens of preteen girls in pairs and groups. For a short bit, I was behind two girls that must have been between 10 and 12 years old. Each of them had a small pink bag with gold lettering on the bags that proclaimed “Victoria’s Secret”. I was wondering what kind of items they would buy at such a store at their age. I was hoping for skin cream, maybe lip stick, or a gift for their mothers. I wasn’t sure until one of them dug her hand into her bag and pulled out a skimpy thong. I thought, “No way that’s for her.” as she proclaimed, “Look what I bought! Do you think my boyfriend will like it?”
YIKES!!!
Boyfriend at 10? Ok. I can handle that. Showing your underwear to your boyfriend at 10? That’s just plain wrong. Showing your thong to another guy at 10 years old is probably criminal in most states. I was so amazed that I missed a few steps and almost ran into an old lady with a walker. I recovered in time, apologized to the lady for cutting in her path, and stepped aside.
I lost the girls in the crowd, but I’m glad. I didn’t want to know what else they had bought. Knowing that one of them owned a thong was bad. Knowing that one of them was going to wear it worse. Knowing that she planning on showing it to her boyfriend was downright repulsive!
After that little experience, I took the eye candy that was around the mall in a different light. If I saw a good looking woman, I’d double-check to make sure she wasn’t a preteen sex symbol that I was ogling before continueing to admire the show. I’ve always wanted a son so that we could do Little League, Boy Scouts, hockey, camping, etc. together. After today, I’ve decided that I really want a boy, not a girl. At least my son (hopefully) won’t be showing his thong off to his boyfriend when he’s 10. If he does… well… let’s hope that doesn’t happen… or if it does, let’s hope that I don’t find out.
