Out of Touch and Out of time


We interrupt our regularly scheduled silly nonsensical blog for a venting of real annoyance.
Being a product of the early 1960's I sometimes feel out of touch with some of the Fads or technology used by the teenagers today, but even more today as I read an Associated Press article in the newspaper about a DNA test for a 13 year old boy who has said he is the father of his 15 year old girlfriends baby.
This is just insane to me and it makes me wonder if I'm just on the threshold of staying current and slipping into out of touch-ville or have I already become an Analog signal in a Digital world?
Call me old, out of touch, over the hill, yesterdays child,, not relevant or whatever "fossilized" term you would like to come up with, but I find it disturbing when a 13 year old needs a paternity test, not to find his father, but to find out IF he is a father and we just accept this and are not taken a-back about it as if this is the way it is now.
When I was 13 I was playing sports, watching cartoons and just beginning to notice girls, Hell getting to first base was a big deal then. Maybe it's a sign of the times. What were you doing when you were 13?
