Reply #18: Apparently I was born this way. [View All]

I remember wondering why a person was considered "wise" just because they were older. I remember wondering why someone was regarded as a "good" person because they had money. I remember wondering why some things were off limits to me because I am/was a girl. I didn't understand why I needed a priest to talk to God for me at a church during the day but I had a direct link to God at night at home when I said my prayers. I remember learning a girl could get pregnant without being married and I wondered why the nice girl I knew was suddenly the topic of gossip and somehow not so "nice." I remember wondering why I was supposed to respect my elders when my parents and family sometimes didn't respect the same "elder."

Oh well, guess I experienced a lot of wonderment as a kid.
