Reasoning sometimes goes out the door.
With the things adults do.
But then that's to be expected.

As a child many would play the game of pretend.
With their friends and sometimes with dolls..
Then many adults applies this to a child.

When they dress them up according to their vision.
Little girls with ear rings and lip stick.
And little young boys with ear rings too.

With the parents thinking it's cool.
While others question's what the rush.

Let them be a child while they can.
Even some of the parents disagree.
Some of their logic is asking why?
Whom you're trying to impressed with a grown style child?

Back in the day.
Many will tell you-you just didn't see this type thing.
But this was back in the day.
What was cooked?
You ate.
Or went starving for that day.

And you didn't have an option rather to attend church.
That was a requirement for many of us.
Just like respect.

You wasn't going to be disrespectful and not face punishment.
Then this was back in the day.
When neighbors knew one another from one end of the street to the other.

We wasn't strangers like in present time.
Still you were allowed to be a child.
Not dressed up because of certain people view.
But according to those guiding you.

Wearing the best of the best.
Didn't make you cool.
Even in today time many goes over board to impress.
Without comprehending the consequences.

We didn't have reality television.
Cause we was living it in society.
Well, least back in the day.
