There’s no innocence anymore. Wife and I were watching the new Family Feud with Steve Harvey last night, and one of the questions was “At what age did you first play ‘spin-the-bottle’?” She and I said 15-16. The people on the show said 13. The number one answer was 12. I was climbing trees and riding bikes at 12. I didn’t know much about girls except that they had cooties until I was around 14. Crazy how fast kids grow up now.
We played spin the bottle at my Bar Mitzvah in 1977 when I was 13. I wouldn’t exactly consider that on the same level as what happened here. Of course I had strong parenting too.
