It seems to me that nowadays children want to grow up faster than ever before, and why is this we ask? Could it be because we are indoctrinating our children with TV, video games, DVD players, Video players, CDs, MP3s, Ipods, the Internet not to mention the amount of high-tech children's toys you can get.
