It's like Freaky Friday

In the sense of the film rather then it's the fact that todays Friday the 13th ( nothing happened mind you, maybe it's all being stored up for next month's Friday 13th). Now I'm sure your wondering exactly what I'm gibbering on about right now.

Well it's simple ( like me)

There's been a load of news stories today where it seems that Adults are acting very childish and kids are acting far too much like adults.

For example Gordon Brown was attempting to get out of trouble by using a line a lot of children use " Well no one told me!". The mother in the US whose just had eight kids is trying to cash in on her fame as quickly as possible and the wife of a footballer dumped her husband on facebook. He took it in a very adult like fashion by cancelling her mobile phone contract in revenge.

On the other end a nine year old has just published a book on dating. Yes that's right he's nine and took part in what has to be one of the most creepy radio interviews I've ever heard when they bought in a 22 year old girl and asked him to chat her up. I'm not sure why the girl agreed to go along with this but I have a feeling a large amount of money was probably involved somewhere along the way.

However this pales againist what I consider the sadest story of the day. A Lad of 13 is now a father after he got a 15 year old girl pregnant when he was just 12 ( and he looks like he's eight!). In a interview he insisted that being a Dad woudl be great and he would are for the Baby. However when asked how he would copy financially his response was to ask what financially meant. As you can imagine this story has causd huge ructions and theres lots of questions being asked right now. Including why the parents let the two stay over at each others houses and share a room! The boys father say that's he's proud of his son as he's trying to take things seriously and not " playing on his playstation instead of going to the hospital". he then also added that " It hasn't really dawned on him. He hasn't got a clue of what the baby means and can't explain how he feels. " Maybe thats because he's 13!! and most lads at that age can't explain how they feel, let alone construct a good sentence or not fly off the handle about stupid things!

This will probably all lead to another round of political one up man ship and even more people claiming that this case proves that sex education needs to be started more in depth at a earlier age. Of course I'm sure that as part of these plans no one will suggest that they should also try and teach kids who've jsut left primary school just not to have sex.

oh well. I guess we'll just have to hope that the new baby won't pay the price of this horribile mess. I think most people including myself are hoping for a happy ending but I don't think it's likely.

Still they weren't the only news storys today. A woman spent over a £1000 taking photos of herself recreating the scenes with the roses from American beauty for her boyfriend as it was his fav film only to discover she had got the wrong end of the stick and it's not his fav film. In fact he's never even seen it. D'ooh!! Not that he complained when he got the finished photos according to the newspaper and if it's in a newspaper it must be true ( danger, danger cynical alert!)

A woman in wales found a meerkat in her back garden, lego are apparently about to launch a range of gadgets such as mobiles and cameras which look like they've been made our of lego bricks and it finally looks like the cold weather is coming to a end.

still it's the weekend now. So two whole days to myself.

Later folks!
