When exactly do we lose our innocence? Is it during that first sleep over where you and your girlfriends giggle uncontrollably about your crazy ideas of a french kiss. Maybe you lose it the first time you meet a boy that you really really like and after weeks of waiting you finally kiss and its utter magic...like the story books said it would be. Fireworks and flashing lights, the unmistakable grin that can't be wiped off your face. You know that grin...the grin that says you've been up to no good and have had way to much fun doing it. I know my 2 and a half year old still has her innocence, but I look around and I see these 12 and 13 year old girls dressing in ways that even before I had my daughter I would have never dressed...gone is the face of innocent youth in its place is some sexually obsessed child. So really the question is when do we lose our innocence...mine left a long time ago I don't remember the exact moment it happened but I'm fairly certain that it was some where around the time I figured out that I had boobs and they'd get my whatever I wanted if I just knew how to use them. But whenever it happens it always happens when we aren't looking...and once its gone its not coming back. Innocence lost is adult fun in the making...
