Pre-Teen Mean

Like that song from "Into the Woods" says, "careful the things you say, children will listen." Guess it was true. It looks like a world full of precocious piranha fish are now listening to their bitchy older sisters for cues on how to interact with their peers. Boys do the same thing, but they just flat out beat each other up. I think I preferred that.

And, really, is there anything more attractive than sarcasm and snark in the extremely precocious? Why, it's almost as quasi-charming as seeing them stumble around in their mother's high heels, dressed in her over-large silk blouse, with her pearl necklace pooling around their heels (not for the last time).
