Does it sound like a good Idea??? I thought so anyway.

(I kinda stole this idea from Jane Fonda in the 80’s movie “9 to 5″)

One of them was wearing a very modest-looking daisy jumper over a frilled blouse (which appeared to be the eldest girl) and the others were wearing flowery baggy jeans and long sleeved floral-t-shirts (Not all the same shirts and jeans though). This was all surprising to me since little girls these days are all about Hannah Montana and acting like teenagers. Something told me that those girls were part of a fairly small percentage of girls who actually acted their ages. So my question is why can’t girls act like that these days rather than acting like teenagers? Programs on television like True Jackson VP, Degrassi, Hannah Montana, and High School Musical that are aimed at children trigger it and is what a high percentage of girls watch. In my opinion, girls should not be watching shows like this. Like those other girls, they should be spending time enjoying their childhood and being little girls. It’s easy to tell the girls probably watched the old Strawberry Shortcake cartoons of the 80s rather than the Disney Channel. And why have clothes for girls gotten so teen-ish as well? Mini-skirts and extremley short-shorts are on the racks of stores in malls as well as skinny and tight jeans that give a lot of “sexy” appeal to girls and very skimpy-looking camisoles. Why is it like this? What is this world coming to?
