It's what I say to my cousins and sisters. A lot. On Friday my writing teacher was reviewing lists and such and our weekend project is to make a small story of stuff we remember when we were little kids. Here's my story:
Jacob Black Was Sharkboy
When I was 7, the technology we had were Furbies, Tamagotchi and VHS tapes. I asked my 8 year old Aimey what a VHS tape was and she didn't answer for a good 5 minutes until I heard an "I don't know". Today we have robots, iTouches and things like Netflix and Redbox with DVD's. Our TV shows were "That's So Raven" and "Powerpuff Girls". Now it's "Good Luck Charlie" and "Adventure Time" (this part i'm writing in the little bubbles isnt in the story but I LOVE adventure time!). Most of my school supplies were Lisa Frank. Now it's Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber. I grew up with "The Amanda Show", not "iCarly". We watched "Bill Nye The Science Guy" in elementary science. Aimey has NO IDEA who Bill Nye is. That made me cry. It was "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" not "Wizards of Waverly Place". I dreamed of being slimed, not getting a boy friend. The most romance we had on a TV show was on "Unfabulous". I was watching a show with my sisters and saw a boy and girl kiss. On Disney channel! I also remember that I always wanted friends like "Ed, Edd and Eddy". I used to draw Plank on my noteooks, not hearts. My favorite magazine was "Highlights", not "Tiger Beat". Yesterday I was looking on the kids channels for "Zoboomafoo". I couldn't find it and I was really sad! It was my favorite show when I was 6-8. I listened to N-Sync, not LMFAO. I sung "Cry Me a River" not "Moves Like Jagger". I was at a supermarket and saw a four year old singing it! Back then, Bratz were Barbies. Alex Russo was Sabrina Spellman. Tinkerbell didn't talk. Vampires were slayed by Buffy. We solved Blue's Clues with Steve, not Joe. Hannah Montana was Lizzie McGuire. Josh Peck was fat. Justin Bieber was Aaron Carter. Ross Lynch was Drake Bell. Edward Cullen was Cedric Diggory. And Jacob Black was Shark Boy.

I feel your pain. What I'm worried about is all of the swearing that kids are learning from music on the radio, and shows on TV. I remember watching Kim Possible in my basement when I was 8, now when I get over to a friends house I tell them to flick on Kim Possible and they give me a blank stare. What the hell is wrong with the media???
