Wise childish words

While I was going to school, today, like every morning, to learn something not new and often not interesting, I found myself listening to a conversation between a father and a son. The son was about 7 years old and he was saying these words: "When I go to middle school I'll wish I was at primary school, when I go to high school I'll wish I was at middle school...". And his father, trying to convince him, answered not much persuaded: "No, what are you saying? You won't wish anything, everything comes with time". But his son, resigned, replied: "No dad, I'll wish everything, it must be so".

That child reminded me of myself being 7 years old, everybody pretend to be introvert during their childhood, or, at least, I noticed that everybody like to think of themselves as introvert children. I wasn't it at all. That is: I was introvert just with who was the same age as me. I never used to talk with them. I was a "social secluded", victim of teasings, specially because I didn't use to dress skirts, that was a reason of contempt from my classmates, they already thought about hypocrisy. So I spent the most part of my time with my father and my brother, learning about Bruce Lee, Sylvester Stallone and weird red haired monsters, always present in my worst nightmares...

Until the 4th year of my life: the 4th year of my life was characterized by the presence of a friend of my sister.

I spent endless afternoons at her place. First of all: I don't know how come she didn't kill me during that whole period. I wasn't introvert with people older than me, I exactly was the classic conceited subject, I mean, my standard speech was: "And what do you think it'll happen to me when I am 19 and I go to university, choosing a faculty like engineering or medicine and nobody will treat me well, just because I'm a girl?". Every try to answer was useless, I was ready to reply.

That child reminded me of myself, I hope there's some "thinking being" who's the same age as him, to entrust him/her this world, because I can't bear the idea that 18 years older busy with their coffee addiction, could have something to teach me.
