What happened to the times when getting “high”
meant seeing who could go the highest on a swing set?
What happened to the times when going to the “corner”
meant you were getting in trouble?
What happened to the times when seeing how “low” you can go
meant playing limbo?
What happened to drugs being a cure for a tummy ache?
I thought Facebook and MySpace were safe.
I thought AIDS were Band-Aids.
I thought “race” meant who was the fastest.
I thought when you said, “I love you,” you had to mean it.
I thought the word “virgin” was only used when you’re praying.
What happened to grown-ups having kids, not kids having kids?
What happened?
¿Qué Pasó?
